Memorial Day was spent at a friend's bbq... although I may appear to be sitting on the steps of a grandiose church, it's actually her front door. She def has some mad cooking skills... and invited all of us over for wine, asado, and sunbathing. While waiting around, I had some of her delicious gazpacho. Everyone brought their cute doggies and the weather was simply perfect. I wish I had taken more photos of the immense amount of mouthwatering food we stuffed ourselves with... Can't wait for the next get together at her place...

Another amazing week of fishing in Cabo! The Finger Bank continues to delight us with EXCELLENT fishing, double digits of striped marlin and sailfish for anyone that heads up there. Blue marlin caught this week as well, along with a larger number of wahoo compared to last week, and dorado numbers holding strong. There has been more variety in what anglers are searching out this week too, but Cabo fishing has proven why its #1 in the world, as those seeking other species have found them, including roosterfish, sierra mackerel and grouper, as welll as tuna. Beginning this week, as mentioned briefly in our previous fish report, the Pisces 32′ Bill Collector landed a monster 201 tuna, to continue their amazing fishing streak! Pisces 31′ Ruthless has been on fire! They headed to the Finger Bank various days and caught and released a total of 68 striped marlin there. They also landed 16 yellowfin tuna in one day and were one of our top dorado producing boats. The Ruthless’ most productive day was December 4th, with anglers the Jackson family from California releasing 27 Stripers! The majority of fish weighed approximately 100 – 130 lbs, while a few were about 150 plus. They used live mackerel bait. The next day, the Ruthless headed back up to the Finger, this time with anglers from Colorado Springs, who caught and released 23 striped marlin around the same size and weight, using mackerel bait once again. Their yellowfin were caught on December 7th by anglers from Idaho and ranged in size from 10 to 25 lbs each. These were caught outside of the Golden Gate area on feather lures and cedar plugs. They also landed a nice wahoo of about 30 lbs at Gaspareno earlier in the week, along with 8 dorado that ranged in size from 10 to 20 lbs; these hit on mackerel bait out of Cerros de Arena spot. Pisces 42′ Caliente caught and released an impressive 36 Striped Marlin at the Finger, all fish ranged between 80 and 100 lbs each, using mackerel and ballyhoo bait. Both the Pisces Tag Team Viking Yachts fished the Finger with anglers John Sercu and friends. The 72′ Tag Team caught and released 14 striped marlin while the 37′ Tag Team III released 17! Another client favorite, the Pisces 31′ Tracy Ann, also had very consistent catches out at the Finger but closer to Cabo too, as we have started to see the marlin move down to the Golden Gate Bank this week. Brenda and Darren Ottenbreit from Saskatchewan fished with Captain Julio and Deckhand Martin.The couple have been fishing with the Tracy Ann for the past five years, but had never experienced the Finger. I can’t say it any better than they did, so here it is: “We were hoping to catch around 10 marlin but we kind of underestimated what the Tracy Ann crew could do. We have fished with them 4 times now and they always produce but this was an epic adventure ending up with 23 striped marlin caught and released safely. Martin was so quick at getting the bait out and hooked up that we hardly had time for pictures or even a drink of water. Julio always got us back to the feeding fish quickly after we released the ones we fought hard to get to the boat. We had a double header every time and a couple times were triple headers as Martin got in on the action too! The action in the water was amazing watching the lit up marlin tear through the bait balls. It was great to be with guys who just love to fish. Plenty of smiles and laughs along the way as well as super sore arms and backs and blisters on the fingers. Took about 3 days to get back to normal but it was definitely worth it. Can’t wait till the next time. On December 6th, anglers David Palmer and James Schrank from Texas caught and released 14 striped marlin between 100 and 150 lbs approx at the Finger on mackerel bait with Tracy Ann. The next day the guys decided to stay closer to Cabo and had an awesome day as well, catching and releasing 3 striped marlin this time and 10 dorado! They used ballyhoo and mackerel bait and green/blue lures for the dorado. They fished out of the Cerros de Arena area. More marlin closer by to Cabo at the Golden Gate bank by Tracy Ann, where they released 6 stripers of about 120 lbs each. They used mackerel bait and landed a dorado and wahoo as well. Anglers were from Golversville, New Jersey. Angler Nathan Crowe set out on a solo fishing mission with Tracy Ann, bringing 4 striped marlin to the leader and releasing successfully. He also caught 2 dorado of about 10 – 12 lbs at the Cerros de Arena. And on another solo fishing mission, angler Justin Fischer (appropriately named), caught and released 9 striped marlin (they hooked 12) at the Golden Gate bank on Pisces 31′ Rebecca with Captain JR and Mate Luis Cota. The largest of the stripeys weighed approx 160 lbs, while the majority were in the 120 lbs size range. Pisces 32′ Bill Collector had an impressive half day of fishing, releasing 4 striped marlin between 100 and 140 lbs each at Los Arcos on mackerel bait. They also had a very nice day of dorado fishing, with owner Mark Chiavetta on board. They caught 27 dorado of which they released 19, respecting catch limits. They also caught 4 yellowfin tuna! And of course, the most notable catch for the Bill Collector this week may be the 201 lbs yellowfin tuna caught last Sunday by anglers Annett, David and Jacob Barton from CA. They also caught another 4 tunas, of about 15 lbs each. And for the only blue marlin of the week, we saw Pisces 38′ C Rod catch and release an approximate 200 lbs blue out of Cerros de Arena on mackerel bait. There they landed 4 dorado on mackerel as well; ranging in size from 10 to 15 each approx. Anglers were the Pedroni and Etcheber families from Novato, CA. For more on other species, the Pisces 31′ Cabolero did well to land two nice wahoos this week, one of about 15 lbs and the other of about 35 lbs. The fish hit on mackerel bait and feather lure at Los Arcos. Pisces 35′ Knot Workin searched out and found the tunas with 6 yellowfin (20 lbs each approx) caught out at the 240 Spot on hoochi lures. Anglers Bill Bunting and Robert Schwab also caught 3 dorado of about 15 – 20lbs each. There was also a few roosterfish, grouper and needlefish caught by inshore anglers, the most notable catch being that of Mr. Victor Caldwell from South Carolina who had the rooster fish on his bucket list. The rooster fish which was about 30 to 35 lbs approx took mackerel bait out at Las Margaritas and was successfully released aboard Pisces 23′ Panga Samantha. LOCATION: Finger Bank, Cerros de Arena, Golden Gate Bank. WEATHER CONDITIONS: Calm seas, wind picked up beginning the week one or two days. Some rain on Dec 7th, but didn’t affect fishing.

Looking back across West Fork Beaver valley. On our 4/12/08 ascent to Coffin, we opted to leave skis a short way below the rim of Middle Fork Beaver Cirque. There were just too many rocks stocking out of these wind-swept slopes!

As your company grows and gets more customers, it will also begin to see more IT requests. As your company really grows, those IT requests can become overwhelming. This isn’t just bad for your employees, but it will hinder your ability to fix customer issues in a timely and effective manner. That can be disastrous for your company, which is why FX Technology believes that managed IT services is the best option for you. In today’s blog post, we’ll give you five reasons why your business needs to utilize managed IT services. It’s Cost-Effective The first question most business owners ask when new systems are presented is what the cost will be. As such, many are scared away at the initial cost. However, with managed IT services, the system will actually save you money over time. It will allow you to dedicate more resources towards core business objectives and less towards IT issues. Managed IT services also make your IT department more efficient and effective, saving you from maintenance and refunds. It Provides Better Response Times The biggest problem presented by mismanaged or overwhelmed IT departments is response time. When IT departments are overrun by requests, it winds up taking too much time to respond. If you are following this progression, that leads to dissatisfaction with customers. Managed IT services bring organization and responders to your department, which improves response time. It Allows You To Keep Your Existing IT Department One reason why businesses are hesitant about switching to managed IT service is that they don’t want to get rid of their current staff. However, only 6% of organizations that employ managed IT services wind up laying off staff as a result. Will there be changes? Yes. But it is very unlikely that those changes will include layoffs. It Lessens Stress This is an easy one. With managed IT services, your IT department will have the help they need and, as a result, they will be less stressed out. This will also help them perform at a higher level. Without too much on their plate, your employees will thrive. It Makes For Better Customer Service This is the whole point, right? Customer service drives so many business models, and having bad customer service can be devastating. Managed IT systems will ensure that your IT department isn’t overrun, which will result in better performance from your employees. This better performance will inevitably lead to better customer service and happier customers. The math is simple. FX Technologies Can Provide Your Business With Managed IP Services While managed IT services might sound good, it can also be difficult to know where to start. Luckily, FX Technologies wants to take care of all of that for you. Contact us today at (417) 895-9223 or visit our website for more information.

Like a lot of the details of United States historical relations with the indigenous inhabitants of this land, the story of Indian boarding school policy of the United States government has largely been written out of the history books. Yet, this was a major federal policy. And it had major impacts, positive and negative, on indigenous individuals, families, and communities. These impacts are still felt to this day. In retrospect, the policy was based on flawed thinking—despite the fact that it was clothed in at least the appearance of good intention. The flawed basis of the policy was that the all-out elimination of what is uniquely “Native,” and full-scale assimilation into the dominant society of the United States, was required in order to ensure the survival of individuals of Native descent. The policy was, at its core, a policy of cultural genocide. Read more

We are all walking through a stressful season as parents, educators, students, and families. As students enter middle and high school it can be harder to know what exactly is causing them stress or to feel overwhelmed. Some teenagers may not know how to express their feelings to adults, they may feel like their stresses are not as important, or they might not feel comfortable talking to an adult. This article shares what a teenage girl, and many of her peers, are feeling stress over. It also gives good encouragement and extra resources for parents who want to build good conversations with their middle and high school students. “It’s important to evaluate the types of questions we discuss with our kids, because it’s often from those things that they source their sense of self-worth and purpose.”

« Wednesday's Words: Michael Jackson | Main | Travel is broadening: An archival* essay and note about Levallois-Perret places. » September 03, 2009 Fabrique 4 in the 17th: This calls my ratings into extreme question*. 5.0 Fabrique 4, 17, rue Brochant in the 17th, 01.58.59.06.47, open 7/7, is a place that opened a long time ago (April maybe) and I noted got 2/4 in Fig and 3/5 in ANP, but it always slipped down in my list and so finally, during the rentree, I got to it. And I'm glad I did. It's in the area so bursting with new restos it almost rivals the Rue Paul Bert, but sticks out like a sore thumb among the other dumps; not grungy, not adolescent; no, it's chic, with cool F4 lettering/logos and a decidedly upscale/adult atmosphere. The menu maintains the tone; it's almost ununderstandable until you figure out the language. Anyway, I ordered for a first the chipirons with pesto, salad and was it tiede diced turnip? Terrific. Then I had an enormous portion of veal kidneys in a slightly untraditional sauce on top of thinly sliced potatoes Dauphinois; altho it was much too much, I had most of it. I terminated with the black and white chocolate dish; a mousse of regular chocolate with a cream of white chocolate, toasted almond slices and crushed chocolate cookies and a caramelized treat to boot. My! I then had to decompress with a double cafe serre, which with wine (one point minus for coming from a cheap box, plus the dreadful bread) and no bottled water = 44.50 Euros. (Oh Lord, I just realized they forgot to charge me 3 E for the coffee; so say 47.50 E.) I'll reimburse them, I swear M.A.M., don't taser me. Go? Well, this is another John Whiting type place, honest, good, fine product, eager young people, perhaps over-priced but unclassifiable because it's in a part of the 17th that absent the Olympics in 1012, will be forgotten in 10 years.

If you’re like most women, chances are you don’t realize the importance of vaginal health until you have a problem ‘down there.’ However, if you notice any abnormal discharge, itching, or burning, these are all warning signs that something has gone wrong, so be sure to consult with your gynecologist. But is discoloration also a symptom of poor vaginal health. Is discoloration a symptom of poor vaginal health? When the vagina is in good health it should be free of infections, and have a clear discharge to help keep it clean. But, there should be no odor, irritation, or discoloration. Any whitening or hypopigmentation is considered abnormal. Why the vaginal tissue may become discolored Discoloration of the vaginal tissue is very often caused by a condition known as lichen sclerosus. When present in women and girls, lichen sclerosus affects the vulva, which is the outer part of the vagina. The skin disorder is characterized by patches of pale skin, which is also thin and crinkled. Medical researchers are not sure what causes lichen sclerosus, but it has been linked to an overactive immune system. The condition cannot be cured, but the symptoms can be effectively managed. If you are bothered by discoloration in the vaginal area, contact Fowler GYN International (FGI), Paradise Valley, AZ for assistance. FGI specializes in treating chronic vulvovaginal conditions such as lichen sclerosus. The FGI treatment protocol for lichen sclerosus involves the initial use of high potency topical corticosteroids. However, it may take several months before there is any noticeable improvement in symptoms. We also recommend a maintenance treatment that involves the use of low potency corticosteroids. Contact FGI at (480) 420-4001, to set up a consultation with board certified gynecologist Dr. R. Stuart Fowler.

The University of Strathclyde's well-regarded Genealogy - Researching your Family Tree online course is to be held again from 3 July. Hosted by The Open University's Future Learn, the course is free, and requires a commitment from participants of four hours study a week over a six-week period. It is considered suitable for beginners but will also be of help to more experienced genealogists who want to learn new searching, analytical and communication techniques. It covers basic genealogy techniques, finding and analysing sources, adding historical context and exploring the potential of DNA testing. This is not an Irish genealogy course. In fact, it does not concentrate on any specific country’s records. Instead the course looks to help participants define what it is they want to research, to consider the best ways of finding and storing relevant information and to overcome the key challenges of finding the right person among a number of possible candidates. The tutor is Tahitia McCabe, who is also the Course Leader for the University's MSc in Genealogical, Palaeographic and Heraldic Studies.

Once upon a time in a usenet newsgroup long long ago and far far away the (paraphrased) claim was made: Without the theoretical foundations laid by Computer Scientists (and their associates, mathematicians and EEs) programmers wouldn’t have anything to work with. It is the theoreticians who lead the way in the development of new computing technology and methodology. but the theoretical The foundations were well in place before the programmers got there. Recursion and induction (two very powerful programming techniques) were well in place from centuries ago. The notion of an algorithm existed before electricity was even understood. Church invented the Lambda Calculus almost 20 years before LISP existed, theorem-proving systems of Gentzen preceded AI, and Kleene had a number of formal language results before the first compiler existed. I replied (also paraphrased): This simply isn’t so. Programming very much came first; the early programmers developed the principles of programming pretty much ad hoc. The theoretical foundations were developed after the fact. It would be much more accurate to say that the theoreticians are becoming the leaders in the development of new computing technology and methodology. This is the normal situation with technology and science. Until World War II science had surprisingly little impact on technology (with the exception of Chemistry). The reason is fairly straightforward; in its earlier stages technology depends on rough and ready constructs and a lot of empirical knowledge. The corresponding science is inadequate because not enough is known about the processes involved to provide theoretical explanations of the phenomena. In the case of programming, the significant developments all preceded the rise of computer science, which was very much an after the fact occurence [and is still somewhat mired in the identity search syndrome.] Concepts (and implementation) of ideas such as databases, operating systems, higher order languages, and data structures were brought into being by programmers. It should be noted, however, that the early programmers were not “graduates of programming schools”; they had highly varying backgrounds with a predominence of Mathematics and Engineering. Some of them, only some of them. Numerical analysis existed before computers; mathmematical logic existed before computers. But a lot of stuff didn’t and the stuff that did wasn’t always formulated in a relevant form. For example: Nowadays we design algorithms using general principle, e.g. greedy method, divide and conquer, and all that. Today I would expect that someone who was trained in modern methods could create the FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) as a classroom exercise; I remember when the FFT was first developed — it was a real bombshell. It was also very mysterious. To repeat: HOL’s were very much an ad hoc invention. I know about formal languages; I knew about them in 1961 when I started programming, and, believe me, they had very little to do with most programming. As Dijkstra observes, pre-computer logic was atemporal. Mathematicians did a great deal of twisting to force computer programming into the terms of classical recursion, induction, and formal logic. Data structures are mostly a modern invention; I also remember when hash coding hit the streets — there were people who felt that hash coding was somehow illegitimate. Somebody had to invent B-trees you know. The whole concept of data structures is new. Fundamentally, you can do things with computers that could never be done before and the things that you can do are constrained by factors that are not at all apparent without the experience of programming computers. The time of the programmer making fundamental discoveries by ad hoc experimentation may be past. When you don’t know anything muddling about is a great way to learn something — better than detailed analysis based on radically insufficient data. But the ‘muddle about’ approach only takes you so far and then you go nowhere slowly. One other thing programmers of yore had to learn by doing was how to write decent programs, e.g. how to structure them and what kinds of techniques to use. Wee wrote some pretty garbagy programs in the old days. [Unlike what’s done, today :-)]. You can write some pretty good software without knowing anything about the lambda-Calculus. But it is pretty hard to learn about writing good software without knowing a lot about how software is put together. Let me tell a story: Many years ago I knew a hot programmer. He was good; he could take a problem and produce a working program that got good answers in short order. However he did have one idiosyncrasy — he didn’t use subroutines. Everything was all in one big Fortran program. The day came when one of his twenty thousand line specials blew the compiler — symbol table overflows all over the place. So he did what people told him to do; he split it up into subroutines. He divided the program in half and made a 10000 line main program and a 10000 line subroutine. Now my contention is that, nowadays, you can’t be a ‘good software tool’ without a good grounding in theory. A lot of the stuff we did in the old days just doesn’t cut it today [er, ah, oh well — I wish that were a true statement.] But my opinion is that we could do with a lot less ‘computer science’ and a lot more ‘software engineering’. Don’t get me wrong — computer science is interesting and valuable. But software engineering is also interesting and valuable, and a lot of people who are taking CS degrees should be in SE.

California-based Ascension Insurance Services is expecting to add a second cell to its segregated portfolio company (SPC) in the Cayman Islands. Captive Review reported in February 2015 AARIS Insurance Company SPC, owned by Ascension Insurance Services, had formed the jurisdiction’s first portfolio insurance company (PIC) – AGG 1 PIC. Legislation enabling PICs, comparable to incorporated cell companies (ICCs) in Guernsey, came into effect in January 2015. “We were up against a tight deadline because the renewals for the members were in February and the legislation was only passed the month before,” Paul Tamburri, west coast risk management practice leader at Ascension Insurance Services, told Captive Review. “We had to get the fronting in place and ensure the carrier understood they were now contracting with the PIC rather than AARIS.” When AGG 1 PIC was established it originally had 13 members. That has since grown to 15. All members are agriculture businesses with California or Arizona risks writing workers’ compensation. The rush to find a solution for the original 13 members came about after the owners of a separate Bermuda segregated account company (SAC) changed hands and the clients in two of the three cells wanted to continue working with Ascension. Tamburri said one of the reasons the SPC option was so attractive to Ascension was they saw the potential to offer a PIC solution to other groups of clients. “We are already working on a segregated portfolio which we hope to get running by 1 April,” he added. “That cell will be for another group of agricultural clients and is also for workers’ compensation.” Ascension also works with the trucking industry and education institutions. A large part of its client base is non-profits and the firm is considering setting up another vehicle especially for medical stop-loss. “The SPC is a big opportunity for our company as a whole, and not just for this one PIC,” Tamburri said. This article was first published by Captive Review, and written by Richard Cutcher. Captive Review was launched in 1999 and caters for the risk management and captive insurance communities.

Sports nutrition is recommended to take a course in a month and a half, that is 6 weeks. Preparation to the diet, takes 4 to 8 weeks usually takes place without the use of fat burners. How to take Thermo Caps Experienced athletes who use Thermo Caps, I recommend focusing on the degree of transferability of the substance. One dose of sports nutrition is 3 capsules. The statement pointed out that taking a fat burner should be in the morning, before Breakfast, i.e. fasting. If dizziness occurs or the person starts to feel really sick, reduce the dosage to 2 capsules. Some deliberately increase the dosage to 4 pills. The experts of the manufacturer is recommended to abandon this. There are athletes who use this fat burner not in the morning, and directly before the workout. Reviews Opinions about this sports nutrition is quite ambiguous. Some athletes write about the high performance fat burner, describe the results achieved. Some manage to drop in a week to 5-7 pounds. Other people that sports nutrition is not suitable. They are trying to lose weight, but the drug does nothing. In rare reviews you can read about the side effects of sports nutrition, which is expressed in increased heart rate and blood pressure, uncomfortable sensations in the liver and kidneys. Such phenomena typical of many fat burners.

While the four cantatas presented on Trinity Sunday during Bach's Leipzig years -- BWV 194, 176, 165, and 129 -- were all intended for the same liturgical day, a significant diversity exists among the four compositions. This diversity results from the variety of source material on which the cantatas were based, including material composed during the Leipzig years as well as material re-worked from previous Bach cantatas. The diversity also results from the different librettos and librettists that were utilized for the cantatas. Other factors include the variety of the cantatas' movement structures, performing forces, and the theological/philosophical themes that are central to each composition. This document is a study of the four cantatas, first examining the compositions in detail, then examining the compositions by their commonalities and their dissimilarities, with specific attention to the methods by which Bach presented the theological/philosophical messages in each cantata. An appendix of translations and scriptural allusions for each cantata movement is also included at the close of the document. The variety of perspectives employed in this document forms a unique examination of the four Trinity Sunday cantatas that has not previously been seen in Bach scholarship.

Rooted in social justice education, the LLCEC offers project based courses during which participants can apply their creativity and critical thinking skills while learning from their peers. The 2019 LLCEC will feature the following project based courses: Podcasting 101 Speak Up: Your voice is perfect for the radio. Join us for a week of radio magic as we create and launch a podcast step-by-step. Learn to write scripts, record audio, and produce broadcast and web-worthy content. By the end of the week, the project class team will write, record and edit their own podcast. You'll learn how to prepare your podcast for online and on-air distribution and create visual photo journals that can complement the production. Bordando y Uniendo Sueños Desde los medios artísticos de tejer, coser, y bordar, estudiantes van a unir “fronteras locales” o sea camisetas y telas que simbolizan sus identidades y las instituciones a las cuales la comunidad inmigrante y las mujeres estamos tratando de navegar, informar o liderar. /Through the artistic mediums of knitting, sewing and embroidery, students will unit local borders by stitching together t-shirts and color fabrics that represent their identities and the institutions we are trying to navigate as immigrants and as women. Deejaying as Decolonial Strategy: The Pedagogy of Hip Hop; Music, Media and Technology Students will participate in learning deejay skills and the class will culminate in a mixtape produced by the youth. We will examine the ways in which colonialism/white and other forms of oppression impact our world and histories. This course is taught through a Critical Hip Hop Pedagogy and focuses on having young people become critical media consumers and producers which allows the space for self-representation and actualization. Danza and Baile Folklorico Movement is life. There is no better way to center the mind, body and soul than through movement. We will take this ancient art form to a new level by also connecting to history and integrating different styles of dance to create a piece that is uniquely our own in the borderland of Kentucky. We will start by learning about the baile folklorico history from Mexico and folklorico origins from each state and then move on to popular Latin and US dance trends. Through song and creativity we will create moves with the goal of learning a complete dance by weeks end that uplift the experience of immigrant women in KY. De colores: Community Mural and Artevismo This class will take participants on a journey of mayan/aztec history, art and practices with the focus on uplifting the female spirit. The class will bring Nepantla to life by creating a mural that challenges the traditional role of women along with the silencing of immigrant youth in the US today through family separation at the border and through mass incarceration across the United States. Students will also design and create a print for posters/t-shirts embracing Nepantla and showing their strength as multilingual, multicultural community leaders. Theatre and Movement In this class, we will be going over a few elements of theatre including performance, voice action, and body movement on stage. Students will get to write and perform their own pieces, play theatre games, and create unique characters to perform as, either from their imagination or with a little aid. The focus of the class will be on teaching students how to be comfortable and confident in their creations and performing "out of body".

Needs for insurance and reinsurance continue to evolve and the insurance market continues to react to these needs. Whilst the market can also be proactive, looking ahead at how best to service the changing needs of the buyers, there are also occasions where the needs of a client just don’t seem to fit into any standard offering, or where traditional distribution just cannot come up with a suitable cover for any of numerous possible reasons. We describe these risks as “ Hard to Place” and Costero is well placed to consider solutions using our extensive experience and contacts.

To reach prospective undergraduate students, CUNY School of Professional Studies asked Miller to help develop its TikTok strategy. No platform has seen growth comparable to TikTok’s in 2021. Use of the app has exploded particularly for the target audience, Gen Z. A quick, visually compelling video ad with motion was created specifically for TikTok. The video was designed to look and feel consistent with the rest of the campaign creative that ran on other social platforms. As TikTok is geared towards a younger audience, audience targeting focused on reaching ages 18-24 with an interest in education. Results: The TikTok campaign helped build brand awareness about CUNY SPS with almost 2,000,000 impressions. The video was watched by 40,000 people.

I’m Coach Sara. I’ve been involved in Artistic Swimming since I was a young girl. I started in dance and gymnastics and loved the creativity they allowed me. I watched an artistic swimming (then called synchronized swimming) year end watershow and was inspired by what I saw. I started swimming competitively that fall when I was 8 years old and was completely hooked. I loved synchro very much and competed provincially and inter-provincially for 8 years. After taking a few years off I came back to synchro to coach Masters. I also swam Masters competing provincially, nationally and internationally. I’ve been coaching for 15 years; all different ages, from 5 to 75 and all different skills and levels from beginner to competitive, children to adult. I love being creative with routines and music. I really enjoy teaching swimmers new techniques and love seeing the look on their face when they accomplish a hard task or goal. I’m also a level 2 certified artistic swimming judge. I enjoy judging routines and figures. Judging has given me insight into creating memorable routines. I really enjoy being a part of this sport from both the coaching and judging aspects. Coach Carly - Head Coach Competitive Division Carly Handsaeme started both her swimming and coaching career with the Lethbridge Synchrobelles Synchronized Swimming Club. She has been involved in Artistic Swimming for about 20 years as a swimmer and 10+ years as a coach. Carly has been active in sport and swimming since her earliest memories of childhood. From the ages of 5-9 she tried many different sports like gymnastics, figure skating and soccer. She loved all sport that she tried but she started to notice that she was different from the other children that she trained with. Carly was diagnosed with Glaucoma at 2 months of age and would lose most of the sight in her left eye. With most sport this was a big wall standing in the way of her progression. One night her mother convinced her to try Artistic Swimming. From that night on she fell in love with a sport that her Glaucoma would not stand in the way of her ability to succeed. Carly swam one year of recreational Artistic Swimming before moving on to compete at the competitive level for about 8 years. While in her last years as a competitive swimmer, she found new love for the sport through coaching. Carly has had about 10 years of coaching experience with the Lethbridge Synchrobelles Synchronized Swimming Club. During this time, she has had the opportunity to coach all ages of children and adults. As a coach she loves helping people of all ages find joy in learning Artistic Swimming. Artistic Swimming is a sport that will teach you about determination, creativity, and teamwork. Carly is so excited to see everyone at the pool for this season. Coach Mia - Recreational Coach Hey everyone, I'm Coach Mia! When I was 10 years old, Coach Sara invited me to come see a synchro performance, and ever since then, I've been in love with the sport. Now, seven years later, I'm starting to coach! I love seeing the friendships that are formed between our swimmers, and I am always amazed by the sheer amount of dedication and hard work that all of the swimmers put into every practice. Seeing all of the athletes improve in their swimming while having fun is truly the best part of this experience. I can't wait to see what the rest of the season brings, and to all the swimmers, I can't wait to see all of you in the pool!

Damn, these guys brought the filth on this shit. New Your Old Droog and Conway The Machine, “Cement 4’s,” produced by Sadhugold.

My consciousness shifts and I suddenly feel the heaviness of my body laying here in my bed. I crack my eyes open and regret it as a bright white light shines into my face. I don’t recall my room having such a light. Then, it dawns on me, I’m not in my bed, I’m still in the infirmary. That would be why my body feels heavy, or… I try to sit up and find that there actually is something on my chest, weighing me down, how could I forget. A splay of orange-red hair covers my chest and tickles my chin. I don’t know why I am surprised to find her here, but I find my heart flutter with excitement and happiness at seeing her again. I lift a hand to stroke her hair, revealing her sleeping face. She looks so peaceful, I can’t bear to wake her up. I find myself lying there, watching her as she sleeps. She was up for a long time, waiting for me. I think I’ll let her rest a while longer. My thoughts drift to the dream, though the details have already begun to go fuzzy, I recall enough that brings a smile to my face. Kaitlyn sure is adventurous. I had no idea those things were possible while I slept. I quickly turn my head to see if anyone else is here as I blush with embarrassment at the memory. Thankfully were alone. As I was taught, I attempt to focus on the amount of built up time energy. Despite being asleep for nearly 11 hours, I’ve barely managed to store any more than I had before I fell asleep. My teacher wasn’t lying when she said it takes longer in the dream realm. I’ll have to try and stay awake if I can. Another half hour goes by when the door suddenly bangs open against the wall and Cliff barges in, followed by Caroline and Gwendalyn. “My friends! I have heard of your trying adventure and I became so pained that I had to come – oh…” he stops suddenly as Kaitlyn’s head raises in surprise. Her whole body tenses and she seems ready to leap off the bed. “You were asleep… I am deeply sorry,” Cliff apologizes, raising his hands and backing away slowly. “No, don’t be,” Caroline interjects, stepping out from behind him and into the room. “They’ve had enough sleep for one day. I think it’s time we got them out of bed and moving about,” she smirks, crossing her arms over her chest, a clear power pose. Gwendalyn steps up to the bed with a warm smile and places a firm hand on my forehead. I flinch, unsure of what she’s doing. “Don’t worry. I’m just doing a general reading of your health. I’d like to prepare a draught for the both of you, to help you heal faster,” she explains. I feel a tingle run over my skin as she reads my health. It’s a strange sensation, similar to the electrical feeling I get when I’m about to jump, but when she’s done she straightens with a nod before doing the same with Kat. “Well, you’re both physically well, though your magic is low. I can help with that too, thankfully. I’ll come find you when it is ready,” she smiles. Turning to Kaitlyn, she adds, “you’re both doing well. I was worried there for a bit. I wasn’t sure what a full fire form would do to your child, but they seem to be in perfect health. The rest was well received.” Kat rubs her eye and props herself up. “I figured if it was going to be a problem, there wouldn’t have been anything for you to sense…” “Yes, however, we will both learn from this new experience, won’t we?” she smiles. I wrap my arms around Kat, pleased with the news. I hadn’t even thought of how our magic might affect a baby not yet born. There are a thousand more risks I can think of, compared to a regular couple having a child. She looks down at me with her brilliant amber eyes. “Are you feeling better? Do you think you’re okay to leave here?” I think about it and nod. I’m sure I’ll feel better if I get moving. Kat smiles and slips out of the bed. She turns and holds her arms out for me if I need help. I take them gladly, using her assistance to sit up. As I do, my stomach makes an awful racket that brings a flush to my cheeks. I can’t believe it… at a time like this… and everyone just heard that. I laugh nervously. Kat raises an eyebrow with a teasing smirk. “Sounds like you’re hungry.” “It has been two days, right?” I ask. “Three,” Caroline corrects. “You woke up but didn’t eat, so today is day three.” “Oh my God!” that would be why I don’t feel good. “Looks like we’re heading to the caf then,” Kat giggles, waiting by the edge of the bed for me to stand up. I swing my legs over, placing my feet on the cold tiled floor. As I throw off the sheets I realize I’m still in my clothes from Africa. I’m covered in sand and I see rips and tears in my shirt. “No one bothered to change me?” I ask. “We’re not your mother,” Caroline huffs, rolling her eyes. “Besides, your room is locked and we seem to have left your bag in Africa. So there was nothing to change you into.” Great. Now I’ve lost my bag and that journal… maybe I can figure out how to jump back using that space spell I’ve just learned and get it back… priorities. “Whatever. Let’s get something to eat,” I smile, standing a little shakily. After not using my legs for three days, I feel like the rooms spinning slowly. I grip Kaitlyn’s hand for support, but I don’t want to worry them, so I don’t say anything. They’ve worried enough already. “Maybe you can borrow a wheelchair?” Kat hums, looking around the infirmary. I look at her with alarm. “God, no. I’m fine. I can walk,” I assure her, though I’m not sure if I’m convincing enough. I take a deep breath, straightening my back to look like I’m more steady than I feel. Kat rolls her eyes. “Seriously, I’m fine!” I repeat for effect. “Let’s go!” Slowly but surely, I make my way to the door. I’m determined to get food. It’s ridiculous how hungry I am. Kat follows closely at my side, worry plain on her face. I really wish she wouldn’t worry about me. I woke up and all. I’ll be fine, once I get some food. She has more important things to worry about than whether or not I can walk. I get passed the infirmary door, the others still inside. Before they can follow I place a hand on the wall to steady myself… I might need to take some breaks. How far is it again to the caf from here? I quickly remove my hand as Caroline exits next, followed by Cliff and Gwendalyn. Looks like I have an entourage. Kat leans close, her voice drops so the others don’t hear. “You don’t need to push yourself. You’re always saying we need to rely on each other, right?” “This isn’t the same…” I hiss softly. I don’t know why, but I feel a twinge in my chest as I contemplate asking for help. Why should I need help to walk to the caf? That’s a little pathetic, isn’t it? “I’m not pushing myself. I’m fine,” I repeat firmly. I know she means well, but I need to do this. She leans back, annoyed. “Fine, remember this next time you’re lecturing me then,” I frown at her hard and take another step, then another. I try moving faster, proving I can do it on my own. By the time we reach the caf, I’m practically out of breath, unable to hide it as I lean against the wall. “See…” I huff. “I did it, just…. Fine,” I whisper as she crosses her arms. I don’t even have the energy to glare at her until I catch my breath and enter the caf. “Shall we order today?” Caroline asks, looking up at the board for ideas. “I think I feel like a cheese burger,” Cliff beams. “What? A cheese burger? No way. If you’re going to have a burger, you gotta hand make it. Cliff, I’ll make you burgers,” I offer. “Andrei!” Kat whines. Her lip quivers like she’s about to cry. “What?! Now you think I can’t cook?” I almost yell. Everyone looks at me, frowning. It’s the thing I always do though… I always… cook for them… “Just…” Kat’s shoulders sag. “Stop being so stubborn… Please? Just take it easy today.” I ball my hands into fists at my side in frustration. I know I’m tired, but… I can’t stand the idea of ordering food. It’s not that hard to stand in a kitchen and cook. I exhale slowly before trying once more to convince Kat that I’m fine to cook. I open my mouth to protest but she cuts me off with a curt look. “Please,” she stresses again, begging. Her eyes glimmer, threatening to overflow. “Let someone else cook, just this once.” I look at her for a long drawn out moment, studying her earnest face. “Fine…” I grumble, giving in. She lets out a huge breath of relief. Why is she so worked up? “Wonderful! I’ll go order us all burgers!” Cliff booms. “That’s not what I said,” Kat snaps at him, eyes going wide. “One of us can do the cooking, right? Andrei can supervise. That’s fair, right?” “But who’s good enough to cook something that’s edible?” Caroline asks. I know she’d burn anything she touches in the kitchen, I hope she doesn’t offer. Gwendalyn smiles. “I could make us all a healthy gruel,” Kat grimaces. “I can make toast,” Cliff grins. “I am not a good choice. What about Kaitlyn?” he asks, clapping her on the shoulder with a firm grip. She flinches, flushing pink. “I-um… I’ve only helped cook a couple times… I don’t know…” I give her an encouraging smile. “I think you’re better than you give yourself credit for. I’d love to have whatever you make,” I smile. I actually feel a flutter of anticipation as I imagine Kat bringing me a plate of whatever she’s made, wearing an apron. My fantasy goes wild in my head and I have to slam on the breaks before I lose focus. Thankfully my stomach reminds me of the most important thing. “Anything you make will be fantastic.” She looks around at the others and back to me. “I’ll do my best, as long as you sit and rest.” I nod happily. “I promise,” she grabs a chair and heads into the kitchen while the others go and find a table. I follow, albeit, slowly. As I pass through the caf I attract a few stares. I realize my clothes aren’t in the greatest of shape. I spot Selene and Nik off by the window with what looks like the new Asian girl. I wonder briefly how she’s doing. She looks a little… scared, with wide eyes, staring at Selene and Nik, a pencil and notebook out on the table. I wonder what they’re doing. I finally make it to the kitchen and Kat gestures to the chair. I reluctantly take a seat and watch as she gathers the utensils. “What do you want to make?” I ask her, curious. She looks back at me, curious wide eyes. “Cliff said something about burgers, right? Sounds simple enough.” “Good idea. So we’ll need ground meat and some spices, buns, and condiments. Let’s start with the patty’s,” I explain. She nods, pulling out a tube of ground beef from the fridge. When she’s got the burgers in the pan frying, she jumps as they sizzle, looking a little frazzled. I instruct her to lower the heat a little and step back. Everything else she seems relatively comfortable with, though she asks me a million times if it looks ok. I’m tempted about half the time to take the spatula from her and show her how, but every time I move to stand she glares at me. I’m not a dog, asked to sit and wait… but maybe I am. Finally, the burgers are done and she plates them and walks over to the others at a table, not far from Nik, Selene, and the new girl. I get up and follow slowly. “Wow! Kat, you really made this all by yourself? You sure he didn’t get up and take over?” Caroline jests, admiring Kat’s handy work. Kat just blushes, taking a seat as I show up. “I swear I didn’t lift a fork. I only watched,” I assure her. Car gives me a skeptical look. “Wow, I’ve never had burgers before. I am looking forward to trying them,” Gwendalyn eyes them hungrily. Cliff’s already grabbed two. Kat takes one, putting only cheese and ketchup on it. I watch closely as she takes tiny bites, watching the others nervously. “What’s up?” I ask her, taking a burger for myself and loading on the condiments. She looks surprised, turning red as she turns away with a shrug. I frown. Why has she gotten so nervous in front of me, all of a sudden? I try again. “Kat, you can tell me anything,” I say looking at the others who are completely distracted by their burgers. “Nothing, really,” she mumbles. “Is it… Okay?” She glances between me and my plate. I raise a curious eyebrow as I take my first bite. My mouth explodes with flavour and I can’t believe how good it tastes, and I don’t think it’s from being the first thing I’ve eaten in three days, nor the first normal food I’ve had since we left for Africa. “Oh my God, Kat, Thish ish amazhing!” I say through a full mouth. She stares at me with hopeful eyes, a nervous smile on her lips. “Really? I’m glad.” “Ish that what you were worried about?” I ask, wiping my mouth with my hand as the juices from the perfectly cooked patty drip into my beard. She drops her eyes to her plate and quickly takes a bite to avoid answering. I smirk, taking another bite. She’s so cute. Damn this is good. We polish off the plate of burgers in no time, wiping our faces and fingers off with the napkins on the table. Everyone praises Kat for the good meal. “Oh, Cliff. I saw that there was a greenhouse on the grounds, though it hasn’t looked used in a while. Do you think I could fix it up to house my plants in?” Gwendalyn asks Cliff as he stands to leave. “Oh, yes. Of course! No one’s really used it since the last plant expert. We’ve never really had a Life Guardian before, but a few talented magicians in the past have had a knack for plants. I can show you where everything is and help you get started. Why don’t we head there now?” he offers. He’s always so kind, helping all the new people get settled. “Thank you, that would be wonderful. Don’t you worry, Kaitlyn and Andrei, I’ll have your drought ready in no time!” she winks as they walk away from the table. I wave goodbye and lean back in my chair, satisfied with that meal. As I stare at Kat from across the table, I spot Kaede walk into the caf. He makes a beeline for Selene and Nik and the new girl and I watch with interest. He shows her something, then takes her phone and works with it for a bit before handing it back. The new girls face seems to light up, looking a little less scared. Kaede seems to nod then thumbs towards us, making everyone’s head turn in our direction. Suddenly, Nik is standing, dragging Selene and the new girl along as they approach our table. “Oh man! You guys ate without me?! No fair!” Kaede complains, gesturing to the empty plate that once had a tower of burgers on it. I grin evilly. “Yup, and I didn’t make them. It was all Kat.” Kaede gawks and then fake cries as he heads towards the magic paper to order some food. “How long have you guys been sitting here?” Nik asks jokingly as he steps up behind Kat. He grabs her shoulders in his massive hands. She jumps with a squeak. He laughs heartily as her face turns beat red. I bite my lip, holding back a laugh. “Not long. Just had my first meal in three days. How about you? What are you guys up to?” I ask as the new girl hovers awkwardly behind him. “English lessons,” Selene answers, sitting next to Kat. “You’re looking much better, both of you. I assume you were finally able to rest?” Kat nods slowly. “Um, yea… Thanks,” she twists in her seat, leaning to see around Nik. “I’m sorry I left you in the library like that… I wasn’t thinking straight.” The new girl looks confused staring at Selene. They seem to be getting on well. “So, I’m Andrei. What’s your name?” I ask her. Her jaw moves but she says nothing at first. When she finally does speak it’s so quiet I have to lean forward to hear her. “My name is Nijiyama Hitomi. It’s nice to meet you,” it sounds very rehearsed. I roll my lip, stifling a chuckle. That would be rude. “It’s nice to meet you too,” I respond in kind. “Hitomi san, I can see you have an aura, what kind of magic do you have?” I ask her. She looks at me with wide eyes and I wonder if I frightened her. Her eyes though, they catch my attention. Her irises are not a single colour, but a rainbow. I stare in shock and realization. “You’re… her, aren’t you?” She looks at me, silent and confused. I vaguely recall a distant voice as I look into her eyes, a Japanese woman telling me… her decedent would have rainbow eyes and command the wind as she did. I lean closer. “Would you happen to be in control of the wind?” She takes a step back, looking to her right nervously. The hair on my arm tingles as a sudden gust of wind sweeps through the cafeteria, blowing some papers off the tables and knocking over someone’s cup. She claps her hands to her mouth in surprise. Nik raises an eyebrow at her. “Aha, so you knew about magic this whole time, huh?” She turns to him, frightened. She starts to shake her head no, then changes and bows and slips into Japanese. “Sumimasen!” she bows deeply. Caroline purses her lips. “Don’t scare her. Can’t you tell she’s terrified? Let her be,” she moves to stand. Nik holds up his arms in surrender. “I wasn’t trying to scare anyone.” Kat slips out of her seat and around Nik. “It would be quite a strange coincidence if she’s the last Guardian we need, don’t you think?” “Not a coincidence,” Selene disagrees. “That is exactly the reason my brother took the girl in the first place.” “Wait, what?” I ask in surprise. “Took her? You mean he found her and kidnapped her?” Maybe I’m a little slow on the uptake. “Yes,” Selene answers simply. “So is she officially a Guardian? Or unawakened like Caroline and I were?” I ask. Kat tilts her head, humming as she studies the girl. Hitomi seems to shake on the spot. “Dormant,” Kat smiles, holding her hand out. “It’s okay. It’s a good thing, I promise.” She looks at her hand, confused, tilting her head to the side as she looks between Kat’s hand and her face. “I have magic too,” Kat explains. “See? Feel how warm I am?” She reaches her hand out tentatively, touching Kat’s finger lightly. She’s barely touched it before she snaps her hand back. “Hot!” she says simply. I chuckle softly to myself. “You have fire,” she states. “Yes,” Kat grins. “You remember.” Hitomi nods slowly, turning to Nik. “You have earth,” then Caroline, “you have water.” Finally, she looks at me, pausing for a moment. She seems to be listening for something. “You have … time,” she says. I freeze. “How do you know that?” I ask. It can’t be that obvious… can it? Again, she looks to the right. Why does she keep doing that? No one’s there. “The wind spirit told her. He remembers you, from when you met the Queen all those centuries ago,” Selene muses, leaning back in her chair. “The Queen? Oh man. He remembers from that far back?” I ask, a little embarrassed. Hitomi nods, not taking her eyes off me. I shift awkwardly under her gaze. “Kaze sama says you look the same. How do you?” she asks. I chew on her question, trying to figure out what she means. “Well, I can jump back in time. So for me, that was only four or five months ago. She told me about you, you know. She said I’d see you,” I tell her. She just stares at me, not saying a word. She looks… saddened, I think. I look to the right, where she keeps looking. “So he is called Kaze sama?” I ask her. She nods. “In English, Kaze is wind.” “Yes, and with this, we now have all the pieces. Once she is awakened, we can restore Markus,” Selene muses, looking at the girl. “I suppose we’ll have to perform the ritual again. Twice.” “Twice?” I ask, “You mean the ritual you did with Caroline?” Caroline nods beside me. “Yes. Kaitlyn will need to lead us there, but I suggest she sit out of the ritual, given her condition,” Selene rubs her chin in thought. Kat pouts, looking like she wants to argue. “No, she’s right,” I agree with Selene. “You should rest. We still have Nik, Caroline and myself. Either of us could help Selene, though I don’t know what it is we do,” I say. Selene nods. “It’s quite simple, and it may even go quicker with more of us there. We also have those other two, from the past.” “Oh right! Ceph and Eli! Where are they by the way? I haven’t seen them yet,” I muse. “Around somewhere,” Selene shrugs. “If we do this, it’ll have to wait,” Kat states quickly. “Andrei needs to recover his energy. He can’t cast the ritual like that.” “Agreed, but we could do it without him,” Selene replies. Kat glares at her. “Only if you plan to find your way there without me,” Selene narrows her eyes. “What! No way! I want to help! Please!” I beg. Selene sighs. “Very well. I suppose it will have to wait.” “We don’t have time,” Caroline says. “We needed to find the artifacts and the last Guardian as soon as possible. We can’t wait forever. We don’t know how long the ritual could take. We can’t do two at the same time, can we?” she asks. “No, but it won’t take more than a few hours,” Selene assures. “We have all the pieces now. There’s no imminent threat at the moment. We can afford another day.” “Good, it’s settled then,” Kat claps her hands and looks at me. “Let’s go back to the dorms?” Everyone seems to agree so we make our way back to the rooms. I stop by my room to get a change of clothes before insisting that I shower before I do anything else. Kat pouts when I refuse her offer to help. I don’t want to disgust her with my three-day-old grime. I take my time, using this chance to trim my hair which has long outgrown my personal style. I also shave the hint of a beard that has begun to grow back while I was out cold. When I’m satisfied with my appearance, I check my time reserves again. I frown with frustration, it’s still very low. I doubt I could even speed myself down to the caf for a drink. I let out an exasperated sigh as I leave the ensuite, clean shirt and fresh jeans, damp hair falling to just past my ears. It feels good to be clean. Kat is standing there, waiting with nothing on, hair draped over her shoulder. I bite my lip nervously and she smiles. “My turn,” she says with a mischievous smirk as she walks past me into the shower room. The scent of her campfire hair wafts by and I turn and watch as she shuts the door with a wink. Oh God! Why? Why did I not let her join me? I feel like a fool. I tiptoe to the door, hoping she hasn’t locked it. I silently twist the doorknob and pull it open, peering inside through the crack. I spy her in front of the mirror, hand on her belly as she tries to measure it. She turns from her front to her side, then back to the front. She’s gorgeous, no matter what she’s thinking. I hazard the crack a little wider. Her gaze shifts in the reflection and she freezes. Her bright orange eyes grow wide, like a deer in headlights, and I know I’ve been caught. She spins around, hands over her mouth and face like a tomato. I slowly back away from the door, letting it click shut, as I silently snicker on the other side. I’m so dead…

Since 2012, the show has been designed, built, and choreographed by Christian Tingle, currently a Junior at Case Western Reserve University. Donations are accepted and go directly to Make-a-Wish of Illinois. To date, Christmas on Evergreen has raised over $91,000 with $35,000 raised last season alone. A note from Christian: As a child, setting up Halloween decorations, constructing haunted houses and putting up Christmas lights allowed me to engage in my two favorite things: holidays and building. My passion exploded in second grade after my aunt showed me a video of an incredible animated holiday display in Utah. From then on, my dream was to create a holiday light display at my home for the people in my neighborhood to enjoy. In 7th grade, after years of studying, planning, and designing, I asked my parents for permission to install a holiday light show. They said yes, and today this massive project has become the ultimate outlet for my love of building, technology and holiday spirit. I spend countless hours every summer designing, fabricating, and wiring new props and display elements. Setup begins annually on October 1st, and it takes approximately 200 hours to build and program the show. From December through mid-January, nearly 1,000 cars drive by my display; for many people from my community and the greater Chicagoland, a leisurely cruise by my house has become an annual tradition. Knowing I am brightening their winter and bringing joy to both those who pass by and children in need makes the hours and hard work worthwhile.

Having a short hair cut or waiting for the hair to grow back is not the end of the story. Human hair extensions can come to your help in those critical moments. These can blend in perfectly with your original hair and all face shapes. The array of styles and colours is astounding. They come straight or in curls, long or short and can be matched to one’s natural growth perfectly. In addition, the colours can be added or removed without causing any damage. One’s appearance can be drastically changed for any occasion or just for everyday wear. If you chose to invest in permed or curly hand tied weft hair extensions, you will have to exert a little effort as compared to straight or naturally wavy hair. For instance, avoid brushing or combing the hair when it’s dry because it will result in matted or tangled strands. Additionally, stay away from oil products because it will also cause matting. Because the bonnet hair dryer heats your hair evenly, you can put it at a much lower temperature setting and dry your hair for longer. This will ensure that your tied hair extensions does not get heated to such an extent that it gets damaged. Depending on your hair style, you may wish to add some length to the sides of your head also. Section off an area of hair at the side of your head, about three inches above your ear. Clip on your extension and let your remaining hair fall over it to complete the coverage layer. It is advisable to have a maintenance appointment a month after you’ve had your extensions fitted to make sure everything is going well. This should be organised with your stylist. If you need any bonds removed or replaced then this is the time to do it. Be sure to research hair extensions completely, as extensions that are improperly attached or removed can cause permanent damage to the hair as well as hair loss. Also, be sure to do some research on the salon and stylist you have contacted for your appointment. Their training and experience are important factors as well.

Sarnia fire investigators say an explosion on Euphemia Street Saturday was caused by drug-manufacturing activity involving butane. Firefighters were called to the 100-block of Euphemia Street in Sarnia’s south end around 3:30 p.m., April 9th. The blast caused some internal damage to the building, though it remained structurally intact. The blast did not cause any fire. A tenant sustained non life-threatening injuries and was treated and released in hospital. A second person also sustained minor burns. The Ontario Fire Marshall's Office was called in to investigate and has concluded its work. The Sarnia Police Criminal Investigations unit is now looking into the matter.

It’s been over a year since I have experienced music live, more than three since I had a ticket to a performance in another city. I thought I knew how much I missed it; I thought I knew how much I associated live music with love. This week, a good friend took me to see one of her favorite musicians, Takenobu. They were playing at a club I had sworn I’d been to before, but after going, I don’t think I had. People were respectful of the masking rule, free masks were available at the door, and everyone had to show proof of vaccination. I felt comfortable in the space, as small as it was; we made quick friends with the woman on my right, a recent college graduate and new resident of the city. When the unassuming couple took the two steps up to the stage, silence swept the underground room. I had never heard of the musicians, at least, not knowingly. I didn’t know anything about them other than my friend was super excited to see them. I just missed the experience. It only took the first song to have me hooked. We were maybe ten feet away from the musicians, just the 3rd table from the tiny stage. Their movements flowed like water, bows sliding over cello and violin strings. It was beautiful, and appeared effortless. The music simply lifted from the fingers that played it. This was not music you listened to; this was music you breathed. I felt it with every inhalation, as I filled my lungs with the sound and let it go, let it surround me. The voices that rose were the perfect complement to the classic instruments. By the third song, I was actively swaying in my seat. I noted that my friend was as well; everyone else in my line of sight sat statue-still. I didn’t understand that, never had. Could they not feel it? Feel the way the music moved around them, electrifying the cells in their bodies, coaxing the movement from their limbs? I had an image of a ballet performance in my head, the dancers reaching forward as if their fingers were desperate to feel the music run through them, even as they were pulled backward by some other invisible force. I wished it was an open floor plan; I wished for the confidence and the grace to be able to get up and dance the way the music was insisting. I wished I’d worn a long skirt that would continue to flow with the movements of my hips after they changed direction. I absently noted the passage of time only because the clock was in my direct site. The brass hands made their slow sweep over black as the view out of the high windows went bright as the streetlights came on. The violin and cello continued to make their easy transitions, moving from smooth notes drawn out with the bow, to playful with quick plucks of the strings. I noticed a familiar hand pattern; yes, the cellist was finger picking the cello. I felt the excitement bloom in my chest and turned my head to tell Hawthorne. Oh, right. As happens when I get really into something, I had lost track of where and when I was, swept away in the music. That surrender is how I had danced for our entire wedding with my shoes on the whole time; it was what made road trips fly by as fast as the highway outside. It had been a long time since I felt it. It was what happened when music and joy and love and wonder converged. The music swelled with meaning, not just from Takenobu. Bright memories of both my first and last loves washed over me in time-hazed pastels. Half-running from the train to get to the little club where we had ten-dollar tickets to see someone we had barely heard of, waiting to snuggle up and sway together in the sweaty crowd. Having a mountain of a man put me and my skinny boyfriend in front of him, protected from the pit forming behind us. Hawthorne dragging me closer to the stage so they could watch the hands of the musicians. Sitting on the grass and watching their eyes sparkle in the dusk. I pressed a fist to my heart to hold it, that joy, that sweet ache of beautiful memory. This is what live music is about, I thought. This has been missing from my world. The last time I’d heard it was at the jam at the Wild Fern where we had gathered to celebrate Hawthorne’s life, just over a year ago. I felt that sweet ache falter towards something more painful; applause rose around me and brought me back to the moment. We drank our craft beers and savored the rich mouthfuls of tres leches cake we split. I watched the young person in the corner write page after page in the notebook balanced on their knee, occasionally reference a book with a pink cover and long title that I couldn’t make out. I remember those days, where any moment I sat was a moment to study. I made notes on my phone, regretting the absence of my own notebook. I didn’t want to be rude, but I knew I needed the words that moved through me to be captured and not carried away on the music. Suddenly I heard bars I’d recognize anywhere rise to dance on the air. The instruments were different, but suddenly I was on a mountaintop in Vermont in midsummer, bonfire lit, chairs pulled up to the light, Hawthorne and friends picking up the key and melody. The melancholy rendition of Shady Grove transported me so that the woodsmoke obscured the young student, the café tables and fake candles. I could see the faces of friends, of my love, as if they were there to reach out and touch them. My heart squeezed. I pulled up a favorite picture of Hawthorne on my phone and set it on the table; for a moment, just for a beat, they were with me at the show. Takenobu finished their main set, then told the story of why they don’t actually leave the stage at Club Passim, and then immediately began their encore. We paid the bills that were handed out, heads bent toward bright phones and paid by QR code. I thought of when my first boyfriend and I went, the black X’s on our hands and cash carefully folded into his pocket. I looked around at our masked companions, and hoped he was still going to shows. The show ended at what, at thirty-six, was the perfectly reasonable time. Twenty years ago, my boyfriend and I would be wondering if another act was coming on. Instead, my friend and I joined the tiny merch line, where she got a T-shirt and the chance to tell them how much she loved them. I asked if he had actually been finger picking, and he said that he had. I felt a smugness that I know Hawthorne knew well, and was glad they had taught me what that style looked like. I had a blast at the show; we talked about how perfect it was on the way out of the city. The only thing that could have made it better, I told my friend, was a cup of Turkish coffee to go with the sweetness of the tres leches cake. She agreed. Neither of us could understand how the rest of the crowd was so still; I could already feel the motion of the night in my sides, those muscles rudely awakened. I smiled at the slight pain, willing to take that as my due. Whatever the price was from dancing in my seat, it didn’t matter. The music is back.

The umati dashboard at is available as a neutral sample application to demonstrate OPC UA companion specification standardization. This dashboard shows all error free machine servers according to the defined standards. It lists software solutions from umati partners, who provide a web accessible demonstration instance. It is connected as an OPC UA client application to the datahub OPC UA endpoint. Currently the integration of OPC 40001-1 UA for Machinery OPC 40501-1 UA for MachineTool is developed. Integrations of future additional companion specification implementations based on the OPC 40001-1 UA for Machinery are in progress. Location of Fair, Machine and Software icons on the dashboard Fairs Location is set by fair organiser. Machines The machine instance Location property (according to OPC 40001-1) shall be provided in the format <fair> <hall> <booth>, e.g, “METAV 1 A22” or format <N/S> <Latitude|##.#########> <EW> <Longitude|###.#########>, e.g. N 51.257315 E 6.740885 for GPS coordinates. NOTE: The machine only gets a map icon, if it provides at least the GPS location Machines can be referenced to more than one fair by providing a list of fair locations, deliminated by slash e.g. METAV <XXX> <XXX>/EMO 12 D17/N 51.257315 E 6.740885 FAIR Shortnames Fair shortnames are defined here. Software The software location will be manual set for now, based on the same principle like machines. Datahub Datahub connection For this showcase we will have a datahub provided off premise. This will act as an OPC UA aggregation server. The machine server (M) will connect via an OpenVPN tunnel to an VPN endpoint. An OPC UA client will connect to the OPC UA Server(s) of that partner through the VPN tunnel. This client will browses for all instances of the supported specifications and will read all values and events of these instances. These values and events are forwarded to an aggregating OPC UA server, which will provide a copy of the instances with values. The application providers (A) will connect to the aggregating OPC UA Server of this datahub. This ensures a constant load on the unterlying OPC UA servers of the machines, no matter how many applications read the OPC UA data in the aggregating OPC UA server. To connect to this datahub (M) need an OPC UA Server and OpenVPN client to access one dedicated endpoint per partner. (A) will connect via OPC UA directly to the datahub.

Citywide vacancy remains below 10% in a tight market, with rates hovering around 9.8% since year-end 2016. Net absorption for the overall office market is at positive 375,000 sq. ft. year-to-date. For full-year 2016, total net absorption was 1.2 million sq. ft. Direct space absorbed 537,000 sq. ft., enough to balance the negative 163,000 sq. ft. from sublease space. The Austin office market has not ended a full year with overall negative absorption since 2002, 14 years ago. The construction pipeline is at 700,000 sq. ft. with all current construction scheduled to deliver in 2017. More than half of that total (55%) is pre-leased, with Google, Inc.—set to occupy close to 240,000 sq. ft. at 500 West 2nd Street—among the notable forthcoming tenants. Recycling company Balcones Resources previously occupied an East Austin warehouse that is now being converted into creative office space. This trend will continue in the area as demand for more office space for artists, designers, and other creative types only increases. The Austin-Round Rock MSA recorded the month’s second-lowest unemployment rate among Texas MSAs, with a non-seasonally adjusted rate of 3.6% for March.

Actually I originally did it this way, but some of the rules are only placed in common-rules.mk in certain circumstances, which is checked by the m4 macro (previously I was using am conditionals), which meant there were two files for each extra rule (or group of rules). Also different projects may not require the same common rules, so I prefer to keep separate functionality in separate files, but doing so as different mk files makes including them all in each Makefile awkward. Finally, I'm hoping that the functionality the extra rules provide will be useful to others and while there is an technique and archive for autoconf extensions, there doesn't (to my knowledge) seem to be one for extending automake. If you have any other suggestions please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Probably one of the latest functions in organizations to benefit from information systems was human resource management, but there is now a burgeoning interest in the practice and research surrounding HRM’s use of technology. HRM’s goals are to attract, motivate, and retain employees in their roles, but the administrative functions associated with this field have always been cumbersome and labor intensive. ​ The History of Software Solutions for HR The HCM field did not recognize the importance and benefits of technology until the nineties, in the last 20 years, technology has had a dramatic influence on HCM processes and practices, and a new field has emerged

“Our family moved to Fletcher 4 years ago after my husband Rick retired from the army. In the army everywhere we ever moved to we always had a new extended family embracing us, accepting us, encouraging us and supporting us. We finally found our family when we walked in the front door of BRCF on September 1, 2014. Six months later with the support and encouragement of the amazing coaches, my new found family and changing my diet to paleo; I’ve lost 20 pounds, 14.25 inches, and 4 dress sizes but I’ve gained a tremendous amount of confidence and strength. I’ve accomplished so much in the last six months then I ever have in years at the gym. I’ve tried for years to be able to do a pull up and after six months at BRCF during the crossfit open 15.2 I finally did not one but eight! Honestly, if it wasn’t for my coach and friend Brittany’s last minute coaching and encouragement I’d be still struggling. BRCF is about meeting you where you are at and helping you get to the next level. I have SO much more I want to learn and achieve and I know with the amazing programming and skill work that Tom Tomlo provides and the encouragement of this new family I will get there.”

Published in English and Spanish, the Logistics Guide is a digital compendium of the realities of the logistics industry, both in Panama and abroad. Featuring news, commentaries, and corporate videos, our internet portal revolves around the printed and digital versions of the Logistics Guide (Guía Logística, in Spanish), published once a year. This innovative material showcases the main elements of Panama’s logistics sector, including special economic areas, free-trade zones, and corporate industry players, in addition to providing a comprehensive picture of the sector’s evolution at the global level. Arturo Araúz Thriving as a leader in one of the world’s most competitive logistics markets is certainly not an easy task. Arturo Araúz Jr. hereby reveals the secret to the firm’s success. Mail Boxes Located at the Panama Pacifico Special Economic Area, today’s strategic partner provides a broad range of business and logistics services that cover the globe! Seven Seas Logistics Beatriz Torrez, manager of the company, Seven Seas Logistics, talks about the origins and services of her firm, which has offices in Panama City, Colón, and David.

Loading… Panama is back in its leadership role in trade and logistics in LatAm After a two-year hiatus, the Republic of Panama has flexed its muscles as the región´s main port of entry of goods and services from around the world, as evidenced by two major trade fairs taking place simultaneously in Panama City: Expocomer and Expo Logistica 2022 EXPO MÁQUINA 2022 A display of strength and confidence in Panama’s Industrial and Logistics sectors As a grand display of strength and confidence in the industrial and logistics sectors of Panama, the Asociación de Distribuidores de Maquinarias de Panamá (the Association of Machinery Dealers of Panama – ADIMAQ) is currently hosting EXPO MÁQUINA 2022 the largest trade fair specialized in heavy machinery and state-of-the-art technology for the construction, logistics, maritime, mining, and agricultural sectors in Central America. The event, which started February 9 and ends on Friday the 11th, is held in its fifth version, albeit being the first at the PANAMA CONVENTION CENTER, the new and impressive complex located at Amador, on the Pacific entrance to the Panama Canal. EXPO MÁQUINA 2022 has attracted over 120 exhibitors representing more than 200 name brands from around the globe. Over 5,000 persons from Panama and abroad will visit the fair before its conclusion. The fair opens from 3:00 to 9:00 p.m., and admittance is free. Coronavirus slows down movement at Western Hemisphere seaports A lot has been written ever since the new strain of coronavirus –the official name of which is Covid-19—became a world-wide trend between December 2019 and early January 2020. The truth is that, to date, the speed and volume of relevant information make it impossible to quantify, in a general sense, the damages caused by the outbreak to world commerce. Memories of Expo Logística Panama 2019 The country’s largest logistics trade fair (held Dec. 10-11), allowed hundreds of businesspeople from throughout the Americas, Africa, Europe, and Asia to learn about the benefits of Panama’s well-developed logistics platform, besides engaging in multiple networking sessions, panels, and conferences on the changing, but fascinating 21-century international business scenario. Panama becomes logistics hub for Latin America The Panama National Assembly’s recent ratification of the free trade agreement (FTA) between Panama and Israel will position the Central American country as Israel’s logistics hub in Latin America, as it was recently confirmed by Israeli government representatives. Panama’s 2022 FIATA World Congress organizing committee enters into action The organizing committee of the 2022 FIATA World Congress in Panama is already working on the details of the event, which is considered the most important of the freight forwarding industry at the global level. Are logistics companies prepared for IOM 2020? he deadline is fast approaching. First announced in 2016, IMO 2020 (a mandate issued by the International Maritime South America’s logistics industry: a survey The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) recently published the survey, “Forging opportunities to grow in the world,” an analysis of the state of the logistics industry in South America, along with a series of necessary recommendations to foster the industry which, at the regional level, presents some challenges that are somewhat difficult to overcome. The following is the summarized situation of each country except for Venezuela and the Guianas: Argentina The main challenge of this South-cone nation at the global level is its infrastructure. Argentina occupies position No. 68 among the 140 countries surveyed in this area by the 2018 World Economic Forum, behind Chile (41), México (49), and Uruguay (62). Investments in infrastructure barely represent 2.5% of the gross domestic product, and it would be necessary for the country to double this percentage during the next 15 years to close the gap. The quality of its infrastructure stock is less than expected, taking the country’s development level into account. The recipe provided by the IDB is a mixture of policies ranging from updating marketing levels to attract investment to exploring sub-sectors with high growth potential.

The fact is that the Tren San Martín line has broken record in the number of tons transported, a number that has increased by 102% in four years. Dutch maritime authorities prepare contingency plan for Brexit Although the date for Brexit has been delayed until January 31, 2020 (amidst lengthy negotiations that often portray British Eurosceptics as indecisive as cats,) Dutch ports are pretty much ready to face the major disruptions prompted by the imminent departure of the UK from the European Union. Trade Fair to showcase the innovative world of interlogistics The 2020 version of the Pick & Pack Trade Fair, considered one of the most innovative international commercial rendezvous with regard to interlogistics 4.0, will take place at the Centre de Convencions Internacional (CCIB) of Barcelona, Spain, February 12-14. Port of Cartagena declared ‘Best of the Caribbean’ for ninth time since 2005 The 400 million-dollar investment made by the Colombian port of Cartagena to adapt itself for receiving Neopanamax vessels (that are now able to transit the recently-expanded Panama Canal) is starting to yield fruit.

I put the on a USB thumb drive using on my Win7 PC. Then I plugged the USB thumb drive into a VIA ART-3000 unit with (blank) CF and no other drives and tried to boot it off the thumb drive. This does not seem to be recognized by the BIOS as a bootable image. I do not even get to a GRUB prompt or anything, the BIOS just reports that it can not find a bootable disk. In the BIOS, under “Integrated Peripherals” – “USB Device Setting” everything is enabled and the drive shows up as “USB DISK 2.0 PMAP”. I have tried this with the device set to all of “FDD mode”, “HDD mode” and “Auto” with no change in result. Under “Advanced BIOS Features” the boot order is… 1st “USB-FDD” 2nd “CDROM” 3rd “Hard Disk” and “Boot Other Device” is enabled. So you can see I have confirmed that the BIOS sees the USB thumb drive (it is a plain valilla 1 GB thumb drive, I gave up trying this with a SanDisk USB thumb drive a while back). This makes me think the thumb drive hardware is not a problem, but not sure. I have also plugged the thumb drive into my Fedora PC and it recognizes all the contents of the drive (did not try to actually boot off it on that machine). There is a ext3 GRUB partition, an unknown-format CD partition, and an ext3 syslinux(?) partition. This makes me think the image was written to the thumb drive correctly. So, questions… 1. Am I trying to do something with the image that it is not intended to do? Do I need another OS already on the system (ie on the flash card) to load this? 2. Is there an issue with the image file booting from a USB stick? 3. Is there some error in my device setup? Thanks. September 14, 2010 at 3:26 pm #51069 jasonh100 Member You indicated that you have access to a linux system. You might want to try these commands from the linux system: gunzip dd /dev/sdc (copy and pasted from this page: ) make sure to change /dev/sdc to correspond to your usb thumb drive. If you aren’t sure which device it is, run this command before and after plugging it in and compare the differences: ls /dev | grep sd September 14, 2010 at 9:28 pm #51070 sysArch Member Yeah I can do that, but it is in a different location. As stated I can see the drive with the image from the Linux system using GParted etc and its looks okay. But I will try it out and see what happens. Also, as an update, I was able to boot FeatherLinux from the plain vanilla 1GB USB stick on this VIA ART-3000 box setting the USB as stated above to “FDD” (it still did not boot as HDD). I wrote FeatherLinux with the same Windows software that I used to write Zeroshell to the drive. But I have to say the contents looked quite different, no extra partitions and a FAT filesystem. So this seems to point back to that particular Zeroshell image ability to boot from USB? September 15, 2010 at 12:38 pm #51071 sysArch Member @jasonh100 wrote: try these commands from the linux system: gunzip dd /dev/sdc That particular image is not on the download list but I used the most recent beta version Using linux dd as quoted above (substituting the zeroshell image name) I wrote this image to the USB stick, the same stick that successfully booted on my VIA ART-3000 with FeatherLinux. I should also mention that I used gparted to delete all the partitions on the stick, leaving it completely unallocated, immediately prior to using dd. So I was starting with a fresh slate. Same result, the stick will not boot with that image. (BIOS reports no bootable media or something like that) Do I need to do something else to remove the partitions in the image to boot from USB, and if so how would I do that without destroying the contents? Just a wild guess. Any other ideas? September 24, 2010 at 11:20 am #51072 ppalias Member That sounds weird, try to toggle the BOOT bit on the partition containing the /boot folder of the installation.

'If this show was a gameshow, what gameshow would it be?' 'Well, it would be Crazy Comparisons (PSI), wouldn't it?' And that, my friends, sums up Crazy Comparisons (PSI) nicely. Two teams of celebrities would try and guess who various mystery celebs would be if they were, say, a type of cheese, a Laurence Llewellyn Bowen style house furnishing, a type of light bulb whatever. And that was it really. The crazy team that make a lot of comparisons. Williams, Tarrant and Wilcox. It was based on a popular (at the time) board game, but if you were ask 'If this show was a gameshow, what gameshow would it be?', an equally acceptable answer would be 'Celebrity Intuition', because that's what the show changed its name to after about two series. No one knows why. Still, we're still waiting for Stephen Leahy to come up with 'Celebrity Table Football' or 'Celebrity Kerplunk'. Hosted by Chris Tarrant, the latter could be fab as a celebrity can pick a straw and he can go 'is that your final decision?' or 'confident?' and when all the marbles came tumbling down he can go 'I'm sorry, you've just lost 14 marbles'. Inventor Based on the board game PSI, which stood for Psychology Slander Intuition. The game was invented by Steve Knight and Mike Whitehall, who later became the team behind Who Wants to be a Millionaire.

Several miles of this trail are along the Berry Gulch Creek. Easy access to the creek for lunch/rest stop. directions: This is a beautiful, easy, six mile loop off of Highway 20 down to Berry Gulch and than back up to Road 408. At Highway 20's milepost 8.65, turn south on to road 560 which is marked on the yellow gate. There is plenty of parking here at the start (#1). Take this road down to the first main fork (#2). Take the right fork, which is Road 521 but unmarked, to the bottom of the gulch, until you reach the creek (#3). Turn right. From here to the next gate is road 550 and what a delight it is! You will hear the bubbling of the creek (even in the summer), notice many large second growth trees that help create a full canopy over the trail and a portion of the forest that has not been disturbed for many years. This is what a forest should look like. There is access to the creek for a rest/lunch spot about one mile after you reach the creek. After several miles along the creek, the trail to Road 408 climbs gently up the hill using long switchbacks. There's a spur going off the end of each switchback. So, beware of this if you want to stay on the main trail. After reaching the 550 gate (#4), turn right on to Road 500 which merges into 408. You can either walk back to where you parked on Highway 20 or have a car waiting for you at gate 550. If you wish to avoid walking on Highway 20, it's recommended that you use two cars. Park one at Gate 550 and one at Gate 560.

When Silca drops new products, it’s always worthy of attention. The launch of the SuperPista Ultimate redefined what a floor pump could be – and cost – while the products like the HX-One Home Essential kit and Maratona Gear Bag have been so popular Silca can barely keep them in stock. With these four new products – the SuperPista Digital, the Pista Plus, the Sicuro Carbon Bottle Cage and the Ypsilon Y-Wrench- Silca is continuing to fill out its offerings and may have just created the new must-have gift for the holiday shopping list. PELOTON Ypsilon Y-Wrench This new tool from Silca gets our vote as the must have accessory for the 2018 Holiday season. The Y-Wrench is a staple of any good tool kit, and most mechanics typically have at least three – two with hex keys and one with Torx heads. Like the most popular Y-wrenches, the Ypsilon has a 4mm and a 5mm head, but instead of a 6mm head it’s got a 1/4” bit collet, allowing you to put any 1/4” bit into it and customize as you wish. Of course, that usually means searching for the right bit at the bottom of your tool box right? Not with Silca. Like the HX-One kit, Silca has created a gorgeous box to store the Ypsilon as well as 15 different 1/4” bits. That’s the home kit, but you can also get it without the box, or just the Ypsilon itself if you already have an HX-One with all the bits. If buying the Ypsilon Y-Wrench for that special rider in your peloton, get the Home Kit. It’s beautiful. $108; silca.cc/ SuperPista Digital Floor Pump The floor pump is what made the original Silca famous, and it’s what has made this new iteration of the brand so successful. This new SuperPista Digital Floor Pump takes the SuperPista, with its suspension fork like design and tolerances, and adds a back lit, digital gauge accurate to +/-1%. It is also the first Silca pump to use a top mounted hose set up. The HIRO chuck, inspired by the legendary Hirame track pump head, sits in a magnetic dock. Rated to 220PSI, $275; silca.cc/ Pista Plus Rummaging through the original Silca archives from Italy, the brand found the design this new pump is based on. Pure Silca, it features a steel barrel, the famous Silca leather plunger, a 64mm gauge accurate to +/- 2%, and Silca’s beefy, push-on alloy Presta chuck. The ‘Plus’ part of the name comes from the wide, stable base and larger Ash handle making a great shop or home based pump. At $145 it’s a bit more than the original Pista, but like everything Silca makes, it’s designed for a lifetime of use. Rated to 220PSI, $145; silca.cc/ Sicuro Carbon Bottle Cage Carbon? From Silca? Of course! It was Josh Poertner who reimagined what Silca could be today, and he spent many years at Zipp, revolutionizing the carbon wheel game. This humble cage started with a study of what actually causes a bottle to eject using high speed cameras and a shake rig. Silca found out that just clamping down on the bottle harder was not a solution, it could actually result in holding the bottle in the optimal place for ejection after a washboard surface, not to mention the fact that it makes bottles harder to insert and wears them out. Silca created the Sicuro to hold with less force, yet the same vibration that ‘walks’ a bottle out of other cages, actually ‘walks’ a bottle back down, securely into the Sicuro. A little layer of visco-elastic polymer in the lay up – the same stuff many carbon endurance frames use -reduces vibration as well. The cage allows for 16mm of fore aft adjustment, and has Ti mounting bolts designed to spread the load more evenly to prevent damage to the cage.

Maximum employee involvement begins with creating a positive, encouraging workplace culture and environment during the onboarding process, and beyond. Creating this kind of supportive environment begins with how management and supervisors prepare new employees. Use the “Parenting” Method Here’s another good approach used by a Chamber of Commerce executive: “I use the ‘mothering’ method of management,” said Robin Anderson, Chamber exec in Mason City, IA. “I find out what is important to the members of my team — what makes them tick — and then reward good performance by helping them achieve their goals, whether that means financial incentives or schedule modifications.” Using this approach just as a successful parent doesn’t treat all of her children exactly alike: don’t automatically treat your new employee just as you’d treat most or all of your other employees. Look for the motivators and rewards that will work best for the individual. Anderson explained: “For example, if someone on my team is a good performer, and what really matters to them is getting off work early every Thursday to see their child’s baseball game, it’s my job to try to make that happen. If another employee is interested in volunteer work and consistently helps us achieve our business goals, I look for opportunities for them to volunteer.” Onboarding New Hires to Turn Them Into Productive Employees, Quickly Here are five tips for managers and supervisors for when it comes to training and onboarding new employees: Clearly Define Performance Goals & Standards Make sure the new employee has a job description. Consider signing an agreement with the employee which clearly lists the employee’s work standards. This shows new employees that you are serious about their job performance. Note #1: Wishy-washy standards won’t do it. Example: “Operate the widget machine.” Instead: “Operate the widget machine, producing an average of 35 widgets per hour with less than two errors during the shift.” Note #2: Include in all employees’ job descriptions requirements to participate in the organization’s employee involvement program or employee suggestion program. Such a statement could be: “Submit to your supervisor or team a minimum of one new idea to improve product quality or service each month.” Consistently Communicate with New Hires Communicating with employees is especially important with new employees. Think of new employees as aliens dropped in from another planet. Because they have only the barest facts about the work standards in their new work world, they crave constant feedback. And you’re the one who can tell them if they are meeting these standards. And this applies to communicating your expectations for the new employee to get involved in continuously coming up with new ideas to improve your products and services, and to cut costs and save money. If this is an important activity in your workplace you must communicate this to new employees, with sufficient details so that they know exactly what is expected and how they are to be involved. Point Out Mistakes & Show New Hires the Right Way of Doing Things We all make mistakes. Especially when we learn a new task. The sooner you point out mistakes to new employees, the easier it is for them to correct the mistakes. Here’s a technique that’s good when correcting new employees’ mistakes. Own up to your own mistakes. Example: “When I first ran this pump, I left a valve open and caused a flood in the basement!” The new employee is put at ease because you, as the boss, can admit to your own bloopers. Reward Excellent Performance & Productive Behavior Humans value words of praise when they learn tasks. That’s why it’s important to praise new employees as they master tasks. They not only feel like they’re beginning to fit in, but your appreciation acts as a foundation for long-term employment at your firm. Make a public show of your appreciation at a staff meeting, a special luncheon or an informal gathering at the break table. Publicly pat the new employee on the back. Tell co-workers how well the new employee has performed a task. Thanking a new employee, and showing appreciation, when the employee comes up with new ideas is extremely important. You can expect many new employees to come into your workplace with unique experiences that will prompt them to see numerous ways in which they believe your products and services can be improved. When a new employee shares a new idea, it is essential that he or she immediately receive appreciation and recognition. Otherwise, this will work to extinguish the employee’s enthusiasm and dampen that person’s continued involvement in sharing new ideas. Make New Hires Feel Like Part of the Team New employees won’t belong to your team until they plug into your organization’s social network. Ask new employees about their hobbies. Go the extra mile to match the employee with co-workers who have similar interests. And be sure to include him or her in impromptu gatherings of staff at a restaurant for lunch or at the bar for an after work drink. A good employee onboarding process will also help improve employee retention, as well as turn new hires into productive employees, and quickly. If you are a New York-based employer looking for help with things like employee onboarding then perhaps Excelforce can help. Contact us today to see how we are already helping countless companies quickly turn new hires into productive employees.

BURLINGTON, Vt. - Junior Dennis McCauley scored the game-winning goal on the power play 3:33 into overtime to lift sixth-seeded Northeastern to a 2-1 victory against third-seeded Vermont in Game 2 of the Hockey East Quarterfinals in front of a sellout crowd of 4,003 at Gutterson Fieldhouse on Saturday night. The Catamounts dropped to 15-14-7 (13-9-5 HEA) with the loss. The Huskies improved to 16-17-3 (12-13-2 HEA) and forced a third and deciding game in the series tomorrow night at 7:05pm at Gutterson Fieldhouse. Vermont sophomore Patrick Cullity (Tewksbury, Mass.) scored what looked to be the game winner 2:33 into overtime but an interference call against Cullity negated the goal. McCauley took advantage when he scored the game winner 60 seconds later. "Obviously very disappointing; we think we go from winning the game to all of a sudden now we're shorthanded," Vermont head coach Sneddon said. "It was a penalty; he had to call it. By our guy taking the penalty, it certainly gave us the opportunity to score that goal." Vermont sophomore Colin Vock (Plymouth, Mich.) notched his eighth goal of the season on power play in the first period. Senior Joe Fallon (Bemidji, Minn.) made 31 saves, including 14 on the penalty kill. Sophomore Kyle Kraemer added a power-play goal for Northeastern and sophomore Brad Theissen made 34 stops. The Huskies finished 2-for-9 on the power play. Vock gave the Catamounts a 1-0 lead 15:29 into the first period. With the Catamounts on the power play, Vock scored on a rebound off a Dean Strong (Mississauga, Ontario) shot that hit the post. Junior Peter Lenes (Shelburne, Vt.) also assisted. The Huskies tied the game 1-1 on a power-play goal by Kraemer 2:17 into the second. Junior Louis Liotti setup the score and junior Ryan Ginand also assisted. Vock had a chance to regain the lead for the Catamounts with a pair of short-handed breakaway chances in the second, but Theissen turned away both opportunities to keep the game tied. "We had some great opportunities tonight; we had some breakaways, short-handed breakaways, that we don't capitalize on," Sneddon said. "I think both goaltenders again played sensational tonight." NU out shot UVM 27-25 through two periods. The Huskies had a chance to win the game in regulation with 4:30 remaining but Fallon stopped Rob Rassey's shot in tight. Strong had a chance for the Catamounts with three seconds left but fired the puck just wide of the net from the left circle with Theissen at the opposite post. "We're ready; we like playing the game, so why not make it three?" Strong said. "It would be nice to have it done in two but you push yourself to extremes in these kinds of situation. That's fun and you find out things about yourselves and your teammates." Game 3 of the series is set for Sunday at 7:05pm at Gutterson Fieldhouse.

One of the most common verbs to conjugate in Icelandic is “að vera,” which means “to be.” I’m not going to dive into all of that here right now (there are a million resources on that), but I was struggling to remember a few of the conjugations—so I wanted to review them here. Specifically, for whatever reason, I had a hard time remembering the differences between er, ert, og eru. Random, I know. The below charts (which cover the same thing, in a couple different ways) helped me sort it out.

There is no doubt that the dehisced fruit's striking appearance made up of the deep yellow to orange-red pericarp, of the white, scentless aril and the glossy, almost black seed coat in the centre is to attract dispersing frugivorous vertebrates, and most likely matches the 'bird fruit (diaspore) syndrome' (Van der Pijl, 1982). Indeed, large birds such as toucans (Ramphastos spp.) and guans (Penelope spp.) have been reported to gulp guaraná seeds (Gonçalves 1971), which they may regurgitate after having digested the arils. Since birds are, like other organisms, sensitive to caffeine we should put the crucial question, why are avian seed dispersers not intoxicated by the ingested, caffeine-rich seeds of guaraná? To find an answer we determined the amount and concentration of purine alkaloids in the various fruit parts. Thereafter, we simulated the conditions in the avian digestive system and studied caffeine release during aril 'digestion'. It became obvious that the guaraná plant has not only evolved a tissue-specific allocation of this purine to protect the seeds from destructive predation but also a strategy avoiding caffeine intoxication of the seed disperser digesting the arils rich in sugars. Fore more information about the biochemical ecology of guaraná, see the article by Baumann et al. 1995, from which some of the above text passages were taken. heavy-armed eyes from the Amazon quality & manufacturing THE pioneer of guaraná manufacturing is Reto Kaspar (1956–2011). He introduced this very stimulating drug into the Swiss market using the top quality sources from Maués in the central Amazon. Besides the plain seed powder, he created under the label seen on his T–shirt a pleasant granulate easily soluble in water (or milk or fruit juices) as well as solid, chewable forms called 'drops' or 'rocks'. It has to be mentioned, that many operations were managed in the background by his sister Ursula Kaspar, who was and is a key partner in launching and continuation of the new and successful product line. The author of this webpage assisted him during quality control. Apart from color and flavor, the PuA ratio i.e. the numerical proportion between caffeine and the traces of theophylline and theobromine, is significant for non-adulterated plain seed powder. Since the productivity in the Amazonas state steadily declines – officially, it is claimed to amount to about 500 tons p.a.(see Table 1 in Schimpl et al. 2013) – , high quality guaraná is an extremely rare stuff. Therefore, the global market is supplied with inferior or massively adulterated stuff, not to speak of the so-called guaraná extracts, which are used by soft drink manufacturers. Unfortunately, these mostly low grade products spoiled the guaraná market and soon ruined the image of the best caffeine drug we have on this planet. The high quality guaraná is based on Paullinia cupana var. sorbilis, which is possibly the cultivated variety of the wild type var. cupana Ducke, repeatedly found in the Upper Amazon (Ducke 1937), but first collected by Bonpland und Humboldt in the Upper Orinoco basin more than 200 years ago. The traditional cultivation of the guaraná liana and the processing of its seeds is carried out by the Saterê–Maué Indians in the Central Amazon basin around Maués (Henman 1982, Erickson et al. 1984). They pick the eye-shaped seeds as soon as a few fruits are opening. The 'white of the eye', botanically an aril of mealy consistency, is rubbed off manually and the seeds are gently roasted to facilitate the removal of the glossy, tough and dark brown seed coat and the later grinding of the kernels in a hardwood mortar. While grinding, water is added to make a 'dough', which is portioned and shaped into the so- called bastão. It looks like a peeled salami and serves as the storage form of guaraná after a slow drying process over the fire. As needed, the bastão is grated and the resulting powder suspended in water to give a highly stimulating drink not only appreciated by the Indians to withstand hunger and climate but also by others, especially and not very long ago by young people in Europe to get through dancing all night at 'technoparties'. The seed caffeine content of guaraná is reported (Marx et al., 1985) to range between 3.6 and 5.8% (dry wt), i.e. 3-5 times higher than in an Arabica coffee bean (Charrier and Berthaud, 1975).

Mr. T was an eighties legend! With his gold chains and African Mandinka warrior hairstyle, this tough guy impressed 80s kids everywhere. He was best known for portraying The A-Team‘s Sgt Bosco B.A. Baracus, an ex-special forces soldier, who was one genius mechanic and had a tremendous fear of flying. [playbuzz-branded] He was a strong, not to be messed with criminal on the run, and was often accompanied by his three fellow ex soldiers, Hannibal, Face and Murdock. All four of The A-Team were put in prison for a crime they did not commit. However, there is a lot more to this legend than just starring in one of the 80s biggest and most popular action programs. He has had a lot of tough times in his life, and yet Mr T’s always made sure to always keep his head held high. He has used his high profile to carry out extensive charity work and make a good impression on people, especially young people for whom he’s always tried to set a positive example. 1. He was christened ‘Laurence Tureaud’ Believe it or not, Mr T‘s parents did not give him that name! He was born Laurence Tureaud on May 15th 1952, in Chicago, Illinois. Laurence was the youngest son of a family of twelve, with four sisters, and seven brothers. That’s a big family and he wanted to make his mark from the start. 2. He had a tough start He grew up in a three bedroom apartment, in an area struggling with one of the largest concentrations of poverty in America. It was a tough, crime-ridden neighbourhood, and as a boy he witnessed many crimes, including murders. Growing up in a small apartment with so many other people must also have added its own challenges. 3. He pushed hard to make something of himself Mr T’s tough early life turned around when he won a football scholarship to Prairie View A&M University, where he majored in mathematics. In spite of him trying to make sure he had a more positive start, he was unfortunately expelled from Prairie View A&M University after just his first year. Not that it did him any harm, clearly! 4. He didn’t quit after the first hurdle Following his expulsion, he committed himself to carrying on pushing and making something positive of his life. As a result, he enlisted in the U.S. Army, where he served in the Military Police Corps. This must have been a challenge in itself following the kind of environment and surroundings he grew up in, and going in to something so challenging and disciplined. 5. He was a talented footballer He was a talented footballer (American Football), and showed a real natural flair for the sport, and he certainly had the build to make a success of it. He even had a try out for the Green Bay Packers, but he failed due to a knee injury. Things may have been very different if he had made it in football. 6. He adopted the name “Mr T” because he thought people would respect him more Laurence then adopted his nickname as he felt it would give him more respect from people. He had grown up in an area of America where poverty and racial oppression were rife and had seen his parents and siblings shown a very clear lack of respect by white people from an early age. From that point, he was known simply as “Mr T”. 7. Mr T made a name for himself as a body guard for the rich and famous This actor is a formidable man, and he always had a build that was perfectly suited to a job as a body guard. It didn’t take long for his name to catch on with the rich and famous as the body guard of choice. He had many high-profile employers during his time as a body guard, including Michael Jackson…. He was also body guard for many other A-listers including Steve McQueen, Diana Ross and the already formidable Muhammad Ali…. 8. Mr T was spotted by Sylvester Stallone whilst doing security work Along with being a high-profile body guard, his early work included plenty of security jobs. He appeared on NCB Television’s program, “America’s Toughest Bouncers”. When he appeared on this show, he was spotted by none other than Sylvester Stallone, who immediately expressed an interest in this particular bouncer. 9. Stallone cast Mr T as Clubber Lang in Rocky III – where he first said “I pity the fool!” Following this, Sylvester Stallone hired this security heavyweight to appear alongside him as Clubber Lang in Rocky III. The boxer with a serious attitude was played with superb style by the actor and there is no way you can possibly imagine anyone else in the same role! This film also saw Clubber Lang first use the phrase “I pity the fool,” which has become legendary and synonymous with the star since then! Funnily enough, though, he never uses his ‘pity the fool’ catchphrase in any episode of The A Team. 10. The A-Team Following on from Rocky III, the actor’s massive TV break when he was cast as Sgt Bosco B.A Baracus in the A-Team. The show was a massive hit on both sides of the Atlantic, with millions tuning in every week to see the exploits of the A-Team. Baracus was well known as the bad-ass of the group, with his signature gold chains, who wasn’t afraid to use a bit of force when needed but could also be a gentle giant when required, too. 11. B.A Baracus had two famous character traits B.A Baracus was well known as a genius mechanic, who could fix anything, especially turning any kind of scrap metal and an engine in to some kind of tank-like vehicle at the end of every episode. His other well-known trait was being a big bad-ass but a kitten when it came to flying, of which he was terrified – “I ain’t gettin’ on no plane”!! Sedatives were often used to get him on the flight! 12. What did B.A actually stand for? Have you ever wondered what B.A stood for in B.A Baracus? Well it’s not Barnaby Alexander, and it’s not Bernard Archibald, in spite of them being very fitting for such a high-class character… No, B.A actually stood for Bad Attitude! It is unknown if this was the character’s christened name, but probably not! 13. George Peppard wasn’t a fan! Rumour has it that George Peppard was not Mr T’s biggest fan. This was because Peppard was a trained actor who studied his craft and worked hard to get to where he was, but he felt that this tough guy just fell in to the part due to who he was and his physique, but that he was not a serious actor. 14. He’s also appeared in a very different genre The A Team star showed he was slightly more versatile than people gave him credit for when he made an appearance on the popular American sitcom, Silver Spoons. He was playing a body guard to Ricky Spratton (Ricky Schroeder). He was in another classic American sitcom, Diff’rent Strokes, in 1983, in an episode where The A-Team was supposedly filming from the apartment. OK maybe his roles weren’t that different after all! 15. He had successful cartoon show The star also had his very own show, but it was different to what you would expect as he played himself in an animated role, and played the character of himself. It’s a good sign that you have made a success of yourself when you get your own cartoon. The series Mr T sees the star running a gym where he was the owner and trainer, and also solving some mysteries along the way, like any good action hero should! The show was a hit and ran for 30 episodes! He later joined the voice cast of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, playing police officer Earl Devereaux. 16. He was earning a very good amount At the height of this star’s popularity, he was reportedly earning $80,000 per week for his role in the A-Team alone, and could command rates of up to $15,000 for personal appearances. It’s good work if you can get it, but we pity the fool who can’t see that he earned it! 17. He then became a member of WWF That’s right, he then became a member of the World Wide Fund for nature… No, he became a part of WWF wrestling before it was rebranded WWE to save any confusion with the said nature charity! He quickly became successful in his new chosen career and was a popular wrestler at the time. 18. His tag team partner was very famous, too! After quickly becoming very popular as a wrestler, he paired up with none other than Hulk Hogan as a tag-team partner. We feel Hulk Hogan did an excellent job wrestling next to this legendary fan favourite! 19. He had a breakfast cereal named after him As well as being a hit movie and TV star, a wrestling champion and also a star in his own animated show, the actor did not stop there! He also went on to have a breakfast cereal named after himself, and it even had free gifts such as branded stickers. That’s when you know you’ve made it good! 20. He hit our screens again a few years back in a well-known ad campaign This star wasn’t in the spot light properly or on our screens regularly for a number of years, then he suddenly reappeared in a series of adverts for the Snickers chocolate bar (sorry, I still think of them as Marathon bars even to this day!!). The advertising slogan for the ads was “Get some nuts” and they were a popular ad with a good following. 21. The ad was banned in some countries! In a move that seems totally ridiculous and unfounded, the ad was banned in a number of countries, for its slogan, “Get some nuts”. It was thought to be offensive to gay communities, which seems like political correctness gone mad and it’s hard to believe that anyone could get offended by such a simple, and amusing set of adverts! 22. He said he would never be part of any form of hatred Following this, the movie star made it very clear that the countries who banned the ads were wrong, and stated that he would never be a part of any form of hatred against any individual or group of individuals. Looking at his life and what he has done for himself and others, we can only believe this to be the case! 23. He was inducted into the WWE hall of fame In 2014, the legend was inducted in to the WWE Wrestling’s Hall of Fame. It was felt that this was very well deserved and not before time, and he was a very popular choice with fans and other pro-wrestlers alike as an inductee. 24. Mr. T has found religion The A Team hero is a self-confessed born-again Christian. He has led a busy and difficult life and at times has faced many personal challenges, but his faith is now a very important part of his life, and helps him every day. it’s great to hear such a positive story about such a famous and influential star! 25. In 2017, he appeared on Dancing With The Stars In 2017, he appeared on the hit TV show Dancing With The Stars. He wowed audiences by showing a more tender side to his character, and that he could actually be surprisingly graceful, too. We’re not going to claim he’s the greatest dancer in the world, but it’s great that he wasn’t afraid to put himself on show in what must have been a little outside of his comfort zone! 26. He was offered a cameo appearance on the A-Team remake In 2010, there was a big-budget movie version remake of the A-Team. If you’ve seen it you’ll know that it’s an enjoyable film, but not a patch on the original, and the actors simply don’t have the charisma of the original A-Team cast. Our favourite star of the show was offered a cameo role in the movie, but turned it down. It is unclear why he did this. 27. He showed respect to Hurricane Katrina survivors This actor and wrestler is well-known for his huge amount of gold “bling” that he is always seen wearing. However, following Hurricane Katrina in the US, he removed all his gold and was seen without it. This was as a mark of respect to those who had lost everything in the hurricane.

Hi, welcome to bookey. Today we will unlock the book The Optimistic Child. In 1964, Seligman attended the University of Pennsylvania to earn his doctoral degree in experimental psychology. He wanted to know why people who were in pain would be obsessed with it. His social concern was considered at the time to be naïve and outdated. When he first arrived at the laboratory, he first saw some graduate students trying to teach a dog with Pavlov conditioning, that is, to match a signal with an electric shock. They then tried another reflex: they placed the dog in a lab box and planned to turn off the electricity if it ran to the other side. But what troubled them was that the dog did not try to run at all. It sat inactively on the electric floor, and the experiment ended because of this. The inactive dog disappointed the graduate students, but Seligman detected something from it: the inactivity of the dog was not caused by the electric shock, but by its helplessness towards the shock. This is the same as our response to many out-of-control situations: we often give up without even trying. Seligman calls this phenomenon learned helplessness. We give up trying something because we have experienced a setback previously. We may even begin to doubt ourselves and think that we can accomplish nothing. However, this is not our true nature; we lose our courage and confidence to try because we have set up a psychological boundary for ourselves, and attributed the failure to some unchangeable internal cause. How do we lead children out of learned helplessness in terms of psychology? Seligman believes that the key to establishing an optimistic attitude is our explanatory style. Interpreting failure to be eternal, general, and internal makes children believe that it is difficult to change the situation and makes them adopt a helpless pessimism. But if we interpret failure to be temporary and specific and point out that they are changeable factors to children, they will receive positive leadership, become more confident and certain of themselves, and begin to follow the right path. So, how do we lead children from learned helplessness to learned optimism? One way is to teach your child how to refute effectively. The simple denials and personal insults towards children are not fully based on facts and not supported by scientific theories. We need to teach children to refute pessimism with facts and stand up to injustice. Parents not only need to guide children correctly, but also make an example out of themselves. Children are like sponges; they absorb both what their parents say and the way their parents talk. They will grow up faster when parents themselves are against pessimism, and hope will prevail when children are confident and optimistic. Next, let’s talk about how to defeat pessimism and cultivate optimism in our children by understanding these three aspects. Firstly, the impact of external and internal environments on optimism; Secondly, the explanatory style is the foundation of optimism; Thirdly, cultivate optimism with a scientific method.

We have tried our hardest to answer our most frequently asked questions in an easy and understandable way. See how we can make your job easier and give us a call! Frequently asked questions Got a question? Give us a call or contact us! (844) 464-1792 What is a Virtual Assistant? Remote workers work in a call or service center, and can be stationed off shore in countries such as China or India or even remotely in an area near you. Virtual Insurance Service’s virtual assistants are unique in that they are insurance industry people who work from home in California as a contract worker, using technology to do any work that is required just as if they were your own employee. One of the biggest benefits to hiring a virtual assistant is that they cost significantly less, since they do not require office overhead and have more competitive hourly rates. What are the benefits of hiring a virtual assistant? Benefits to hiring a remote contract professional include many things such as Cost effective – Save 40% – 50% on staff and overhead costs per employee Frees up highly paid staff – Your staff can now focus on retention and bringing in new business, which can lead to greater productivity and growth. Fill vacancies – Shift lower level work away from your staff Are my computer system and data secure? Our remote staff works within your management system so that none of your data ever leaves your system. With password protected work and certain processes to protect any information sharing, you can rest assured that your computer system and data are completely secure. How will the use of Virtual Insurance Service be perceived by my existing employees? We can help you craft a message to your employees that explains the benefits of using Virtual Insurance Service virtual assistants. We explain how remote contract staffing will relieve them of lower-level routine backlog they might have, so that they are free enough to focus on the more fulfilling work of client service. Most employees and insurance companies feel overworked and worried about potential errors because of under staffing. By supplementing your staff with a virtual assistant, we can help relieve the daily stress felt by your staff so they can be more productive. Do I have to train a virtual assistant? Yes, you do have to train the virtual assistant that you hire. However, because we have employees who are highly experienced and knowledgeable in insurance, you only need to train them in your particular processes, workflows and in the specifics of how you use your management system. Training a virtual assistant should take no longer than three to five days—the typical amount of time it takes to train a new hire who has many years of experience in insurance. Do I have to supervise a virtual assistant? Just as you would a highly trained and experienced employee, you only need to supervise them minimally. We take pride in the quality and quantity of our work, and that is something you will be able to see immediately. Virtual Insurance Service will meet with you to ensure the work meets more than your satisfaction. If you are unhappy with some of the work, we correct the situation immediately. How do you determine what services I need and how many virtual assistants I need? We can work with you to determine which processes and tasks can be done more cost effectively by your virtual assistant. There are thousands of processes being done every day by your staff, and our goal is to relieve some of that work. If you are short staffed and unable to fine an affordable talent, we can make up for that work with a virtual assistant. We suggest that you start with one virtual assistant to see how effective a VA can be for you. They can be either part-time or full-time or they can work on a specific project for you. Once you understand and see how a virtual assistant works and which processes and tasks you would like to outsource, we can work together with you to determine how many VA’s you might need. What size do we have to be to benefit from virtual assistant? You can be any size. No agency or brokerage is too small or too large. How much time does it take to get started? Typically only a week or two is needed to get started with your Virtual Assistant. We can work with you to determine which processes you wish to outsource to us. After setting up your account, preparing the virtual assistants remote desktop, and testing the communication, you can then begin to start training your VA on your management system, processes and workflow. This process takes a few days. Do I need to purchase any technology and equipment? No new technology or new equipment is needed when you hire a virtual assistant. All you need is a Broadband Internet Connection, remote access technology, and additional management system user licenses. We will provide dual monitors to our assistants if you use them.

Stephan Hesmer and Jonathan Booth have open sourced a new project, called Theme PAA for IBM WebSphere Portal which provides access to the Portal 8.5 Theme as a PAA (Portal Application Archive) deliverable. Below is their description. Stephan also blogged recently about the theme enhancements in 8.5. "This project provides access to the IBM WebSphere Portal 8.5 Theme as a PAA deliverable. The Theme PAA is a great tool to quickly get started with your own theme as well as a great tool to demonstrate how you can package up your theme in a PAA for staging to production purposes. Additionally this Theme PAA demonstrates two theme modes: WebDAV and WAR file. It contains two separate themes and even though they look 100% identical, they are deployed once using the WebDAV repository and once using a second WAR file for static resources. Both themes that come with the PAA are equivalent in function. Once the two themes are installed you can start to customize them and adapt them to your needs. For more information on theme customization please look here."

Russell Genero: Inglés Entertaining Demons by Daniel I Russell is a vicious and all too real exploration into the realities of being a teenage girl in our modern media environment. Starring in the reality TV show PI: Paranormal Investigations should be a dream come true, but for Molly it’s a nightmare. Between constant filming, unexplained occurrences waking her at all hours, and the scrutiny of her friends and neighbors, she is frustrated and exhausted. Unfortunately, the contract her grandpa signed says she can’t quit, and she does need the money. Besides, the show’s host, Samuel, is the only one who wants to help stop the hauntings. Molly decides to ride out the experience, thinking that footsteps and rattling doorknobs in the middle of the night aren’t so bad. Molly’s wrong. Demons are making their way to Molly’s quiet English town, intent on shutting down the show. As the darkness converges, Molly is caught in a struggle among demons while desperately fighting to keep her family safe.

Almost 17 million EU citizens live in a member state other than their country of origin. These citizens are entitled to vote for the European Parliament from where they reside, but almost none of them do so. It’s a wasted opportunity for a more transnational politics. If all the Romanians residing in Italy created a political party and then went out and voted for it, they would pass 4% and end up electing three of the country’s 76 MEPs. Romanians in Italy are the largest foreign community within a single country in the EU: about 1,200,000 people. But only a small proportion of this community will vote on May 26th, when the European Parliament is renewed. The problem of registration Any EU citizen can vote in the European elections from the country in which they reside. They don’t need a long residence period, nor is there any need to acquire citizenship. However, the person does need to make a request registration (only in Latvia and Lithuania can residents be registered in an office). Alternatively, an EU foreigner living in Italy could also return to vote in their country of origin, or vote for a candidate in their country from a local consulate, or by mail. The requirements and deadlines for registering to vote in the state where you reside vary from country to country. In Italy people have until February 24th to register for this year’s elections, while deadlines in much of Europe are around mid-April. Generally speaking, it’s not an overly burdensome process, but few are familiar with the requirements for registration – and many EU foreigners don’t even know that they have the right to vote where they live. The result? In the last elections only 8% of European citizens living in another member-state were registered to vote for the European Parliament. How many EU citizens living in other EU countries? In Europe, there have never been so many EU citizens residing in a member state other than their country of origin: 17 million people, in fact, more than 3% of EU citizens. In absolute terms, the largest communities are Romanians and Poles. In relative terms, more than 10% of Romanian, Bulgarian, Croatian, Latvian, Lithuanian and Portuguese citizens live in other EU countries. Each of the five largest countries in the European Union hosts at least 1 million citizens from other member states, and in countries like Ireland, Belgium and Austria, EU foreigners represent 8-9% of potential voters for the European elections. Higher turnout among these citizens could therefore make all the difference in many countries. It would be a way out of the subordination in which national public debate often places EU foreigners (helped by the fact that they can vote in the European elections, but not in general elections). And it would give a voice to this ever larger transnational community. This is a diverse community: carers and truck drivers, doctors and researchers – all with first-hand experience of the opportunities (and challenges) offered by free movement within the European Union. Extremely low participation There’s a paradox: this burgeoning community of citizens is a living example of European integration, but only a minimal portion of them make their voices heard in European elections. The data relating to the last elections suggests that around 95% of EU foreigners didn’t vote in the country where they reside – on the other hand, voting via consulate or by mail has also been minimal. For example, in 2014, 3806 Romanians, 745 Poles, and 631 Bulgarians went to their consulates to vote, and only 6% of Italians living in another member state voted in the Italian general election. However, the data on voter participation among EU foreigners is rather incomplete: further confirmation of the scant attention they receive from authorities and public alike. The European Parliament does not aggregate this data, and many states do not even make it public; only five EU countries collect and publish data on voter turnout. Italy’s minister for the interior, contacted by OBCT, provided no information on foreign voters registered in our country. Why are so many EU foreigners not participating in the European elections, or even giving themselves the opportunity to do so? The reasons are nothing if not varied, and range from distrust of politics to disinterest in the European Union, and from socio-economic and cultural factors to people’s scant knowledge of their rights and the procedures to follow in order to exercise them. To begin facing at least some of these factors, the European Union has launched a specific awareness campaign in view of the elections next May, This Time I’m Voting. Another possible response would be to reserve a quota of seats in the European Parliament for transnational candidates. In this way, a Romanian resident in Italy would not have to choose from among the Italian candidates, or make their way to the consulate to vote for Romanian candidates, but would be able to find compatriots on the ballot, and vote for them from where they reside. The allocation of a quota of seats to transnational candidates would have given much greater visibility to all those Europeans living in another member state – but for now the proposal has not been accepted.

Czech artist Kateřina Šedá (born in 1977 in Brno) is a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague. Her work comprises mainly happenings and experiments. Her projects try to break the engrained stereotypes and social isolation of the participants. In 2011, she collaborated with the London’s Tate Modern on the project From Morning Till Night, in which the citizens of Bedřichovice moved to London to pursue their everyday activities – sweeping the ground, washing their cars, etc. – in the city’s public space. Jan Gogola jr. made a documentary dedicated to Kateřina entitled Kateřina Šedá: Mythmaking (2013).

Physical skills can erode over time placing a Door Supervisor and others at risk. It is therefore important that Door Supervisors frequently and safely practice their skills to keep them fresh and accurate. This will at certain points include formal training and recertification events, where a Door Supervisors competency in the skills will be assessed by a certified trainer. The frequency and approach to both work based practice and formal recertification events will be in line with the role, sector and employer guidance. Nothing is better than on the job experience and the role of the Door Supervisor has changed over the years. When I first started I worked with one of the old school doormen, who's idea of diffusing a situation was to throw a person out of the premises no questions asked. With SIA regulation and CCTV everywhere those days are gone. Physical intervention is a last resort and most situations can be resolved verbally. Training does help but doesn't equip a Door Supervisor for all the situations they will encounter. Group discussions and mentoring is a good way of passing on knowledge.

The A.Q. Miller School of Journalism and Mass Communications adopted a new policy on Feb. 27 requiring all majors in the school to provide a personal laptop computer. Students will be expected to bring their computer to class and be able to access the Internet as well as create and edit multimedia projects for class assignments. As more universities across the country are adopting similar policies, faculty from the A.Q. Miller School felt the time is right to enrich the educational experience of its students. School director Birgit Wassmuth said of the new policy, "We expect our students will be able to save money in the long run because they will be able to access more material electronically. Having this policy in place also allows our students to use student loan funds for purchasing their computers or deduct the cost from their taxes." Research from the school determined that 98 percent of students already own a personal laptop computer. For those who do not have their own computer, the school will have a small number of laptops available for rental. The policy originated in the A.Q. Miller School’s technology committee. The committee spent several months researching policies from other universities, while considering the uniqueness of students at Kansas State University. Committee chair Tom Hallaq said, "Assuring our students have this technology with them in each and every classroom puts our students at a more level playing field with one another. It also allows them to bring skills from one class into others that do not teach the same multimedia skills." Student computers will be required to have the ability to operate the Adobe Creative Suite software used in most courses offered by the school. The policy will go into place for the fall 2014 semester when all new incoming students will be required to bring their computer. The A.Q. Miller School of Journalism and Mass Communications was established more than 100 years ago and is one of the oldest accredited journalism and mass communication programs in the U.S. The school was named for the former Kansas journalist, after his son, Carl Miller, made a financial gift in 1987. The school offers courses in journalism, broadcasting, public relations and advertising. It is accredited through the Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communications.

​ January is the time for New Year’s resolutions… and they often involve weight loss and/or getting in shape. Since I was an overweight child, I’ve dieted since I was ten years old. Some of those diets included the grapefruit diet, the Air Force diet, and Atkins diet, and they were all successful short term. But I would gain the weight back within a couple of months. I went to Weight Watchers for a while, and they really taught ideas for how to eat to live and not gain the weight back as soon as the ‘diet’ was over. My favorite book of all time was, “A Woman Doctor’s Diet for Women.” The book’s author postulated that many people who easily gain weight have an inability to efficiently process carbohydrates. Similar to Atkins, she instructed women to eat the following: LOTS of vegetables with little or no sauce or dressing on them, a bit of fruit each day, limit protein servings to a size a little smaller than the palm of your hand, two tablespoons of oil/fat a day and almost no carbohydrates (breads, noodles, grains in general). This strategy helped me a great deal, and if I need to lose weight, I limit my carbohydrate intake. For decades, doctors said to use the nonfat or low-fat diet strategy to cut calories. Theoretically it should have worked, but among other problems it left a person hungrier. Then businesses sold us on all the “fat free”,’ processed food products out there. The lack of flavor was addressed by adding more sugar (carbohydrates). There is substantive new research that says SUGAR is the evil, not fat. Also, by cutting down on sugary foods rapid health improvements often follow. From an article in “The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology Journal”: low-carbohydrate diets “led to significantly greater weight loss than did low-fat ones”. Not only are low-fat diets ineffective, but the sugary jolt of fat-free foods may be doing more harm than you think. Here are links to the articles that are referenced: and 394-012-0418. Instead of just counting calories, we need to understand that all calories are not created equal. Research done by pediatric endocrinologist, Dr. Robert Lustig maintained the same number of calories and reduced the sugar in children who were showing signs of pre-diabetes. Results of his study can be read at: In essence, get sugar out of your diet but allow yourself a little bit more oil, especially heathy oils like grapeseed, sesame, and olive oils. This can do your body a lot of good. My main diet advice is to get as many vegetables into your meal as often as possible. Make vegetables the main course, a small side of healthy protein (meat or eggs) and another side of vegetables. Limit fruit to 1-2 servings a day. Eat only until you feel nourished, not until you feel full. Drink 8–10 glasses of water (hot or cold) a day. Avoid juice, alcoholic beverages and soda. Liquid calories often sabotage a diet. Get 30 minutes of fresh air, sunshine and exercise each day. For dairy eaters, remember cheese is not really a protein it’s a fat. Only eat 1 ounce of cheese a day, which is a piece about the size of the first joint of your thumb. For pork eaters, remember bacon is not a protein it’s a fat too. Some fun body ‘facts’… taken from the internet – true?? ☺ Intelligent people have more zinc and copper in their hair. ☺ The human brain cell can hold five times as much information as an encyclopedia. ☺ The brain uses 20% of the oxygen that enters the bloodstream and is itself made up of 80% water. ☺ The brain interprets pain signals from the rest of the body, but the brain itself cannot feel pain. ☺ The tooth is the only part of the human body that can’t repair itself. ☺ Eyes are always the same size from birth but your nose and ears never stop growing. ☺ By 60 years of age, 60% of men and 40% of women will snore. ☺ We are about 1 cm taller in the morning than in the evening. During normal daily activities, the cartilage in the knees and spine slowly compress. This also explains why back pain is usually worse later in the day. It also is a great sales pitch for inversion tables that let you hang upside-down safely. ☺ The brain operates on the same amount of power as a ten watt light bulb, and is much more active during sleep than waking hours. ​ Why I was gone for a while last month… had everything to do with the winter of 2000, when I came down with a very bad cold. After the cold was gone, I found three swollen lymph nodes around my upper throat. It is normal to have swollen lymph nodes after having an infectious disease. Lymph nodes are fortresses where white blood cells take foreign microorganisms to die, before eliminating them from the body. I thought the swelling should be gone in a month or so. When these had not shrunk by April, I had blood work done, and it was perfect. I was told, “Sometimes as we age, we just get ‘lumpy’. If anything changes about them, see an M.D. immediately.” I checked them daily for two years, and in spring of 2002, they got hugely worse overnight. I woke up feeling lousy all over, went to see my doctor, and had blood work again. The blood work looked perfect, and the CT scan revealed no pathology. It was a biopsy that informed me that I had Mantle Cell Lymphoma, a very rare type of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, stage four. . I was also told it was untreatable, and that regular chemotherapy (called CHOP) would actually kill me faster. It was an intermediate cancer with both aggressive and passive characteristics. I was forty-seven years old and told I had only 1-3 years to live. I tried natural treatments for about a year. I was feeling pretty good and could feel that the lumps were smaller. A PET scan revealed that new lumps were all over now; I could read my own scan and see them for myself. There was only one treatment with any success rate but it also had a 17% death rate: Hyper-CVAD with Retuxin. This treatment involved hyper-doses of drugs with the initials CVAD, followed by something called auto-stem-cell extraction, followed by industrial strength chemotherapy called BEAM, and finished with a stem cell transplant that gave me back my own, now healthy stem cells. It was experimental, with only one year of clinical trials behind it. I was able to qualify to be a participant because I had rejected two doctors’ advice to do ordinary chemo. These experiences taught me a lot about not always listening to the advice of MDs. When the experimental treatment began, I was told to think of a big trip I would go on when it was all over. I said, “I’ve always wanted to go to Australia.” They said I should think of getting well and going to Australia when things got rough. Over the following months, things got very, very rough. So, after being put off for thirteen years, and receiving the financial incentive not to postpone further as a gift from our three children, we finally decided to go. It’s quite a long flight to Australia, about eighteen hours. Being that it is a very large country, a good portion of time is required in order to see and enjoy much of it. It has been a huge thing to plan and execute, and by the time you are reading this, I will have returned from this ‘trip of a lifetime’. I kept the reason for my absence quiet, so as not to have word get around that my house and office would be unoccupied for those weeks. I do apologize for the inconvenience to my wonderful patients. Now that you know, we can celebrate my victory together. I beat that lymphoma and I took that trip. Whew! **** Happy New Year to all! ***

Get ready for the return of one of the '90s most popular treats. Mark your calendars, because Dunkaroos are coming back in summer 2020, and you won't want to miss out on the opportunity to stock up on the nostalgic snack. It's about to be a total throwback for '90s kids to relive the good ol' days. Dunkaroos confirmed the return of the beloved snack in a Feb. 3 Instagram post, featuring a video compilation with different scenes and fashions from the '90s. The post is captioned, "Definitely coming back. Summer 2020." This summer's comeback will feature the most requested Dunkaroos flavor from fans: Vanilla Cookies and Vanilla Frosting with Rainbow Sprinkles. Fans are stoked about the good news, sharing their reactions on Dunkaroos' Instagram post. User @revision_vision_ wrote, "I hope all of my fun childhood memories come flooded back the second that frosting hits my pallet!" while user @azmomma_85 shared, "Thank you for listening to all of us 90’s kids cry about how much we missed this!" The beloved cookies-and-cream snacks were introduced in 1992 and were discontinued in the United States in 2012. During the eight-year hiatus, fans petitioned General Mill to relaunch the treats. Even Chrissy Tiegen missed Dunkaroos so much that she tried to buy them on Amazon, sharing her experience on Twitter in 2019, "If you try to buy Dunkaroos on Amazon, you can only get Kadunks (still buying)." Kim Kardashian also expressed wishes to bring Dunkaroos back in a 2018 Twitter post, commenting, "Obsessed with Dunkaroos. Please come back!" There was so much buzz about the return of Dunkaroos in 2018 after a viral Twitter post spread on the internet stated it would take 150,000 retweets for General Mills to bring back Dunkaroos. The tweet, however, turned out to be a hoax, with General Mills pointing out the image as a Photoshop fake. The tweet still racked up over 180,000 retweets, highlighting fans' persistence to get Dunkaroos back on shelves. It looks after years of pleading, General Mills is finally making every '90s kids' dream come true with the revival of Dunkaroos.

What in the world is going on right now? With the presence of coronavirus, I find my clients, and myself, asking me this question daily. Life just doesn’t feel real, and many things certainly don't feel right. And although I’ve never been face to face with a global pandemic, or known anyone who has, I’ve certainly had my share of adversities to overcome, and challenges to fight through like everyone else in this world. Sure, the unknown comes with feelings of fear, confusion, anxiety, and angst, but this emotional experience is an inevitable part of being human. If life is “10% of what happens to you, and 90% of how you respond”, it’s how we cope with those emotions that will have the greatest and most lasting impact. It may not seem so, but your mental health should be a top priority, as this will make you, your loved ones and communities stronger than ever. Start with these three take-aways to deal with the stress of COVID-19… 1.) Take a break! It may seem like you have more to do now in your daily routine than you ever have, and this may be true. However, stress can make us feel overwhelmed in our responsibilities, causing us to respond quickly to stressful events around us. Try stepping outside and taking five deep breaths of fresh air before returning to a daunting task or taking a moment to write down three “must do’s” of the day instead of jumping into an impossible to-do list. Also identify your top two news sources, to take a break from being exposed to an overload of anxiety-provoking information. Your local county office, and the Center for Disease Control could contain all the information you need. 2.) Take care of yourself! Stress can wreak havoc on the health commitments we’ve made to ourselves. An essential part of coping is engaging in self-care, or any intentional act that takes care of yourself and those around you. Your mind and body are connected, so consider taking care of your physical self by trying to eat well-balanced meals, avoiding increased alcohol and drug use, and getting plenty of sleep where possible. Do the activities that allow you and your family to feel most like themselves such as playing games, taking a walk while social distancing, or watching a movie together. This is also a great time to establish new activities for yourself and loved ones as well. 3.) Take time to connect! Although we’ve been ordered to stay socially distant, this does not mean we must be socially isolated. African Americans are being infected and dying from coronavirus at higher rates than the rest of the population. Black communities are already hotbeds for stress, and this can cause us to enter avoidance and separate ourselves from our support systems all together. People need other people and staying connected is essential to being mentally healthy. Take time to share and listen to concerns within your friend group. Consider checking-in with loved ones who are distant and use Facetime or Zoom to feel less isolated. And as always, seek and encourage professional help if you find it difficult for you or others to cope. Coronavirus is here, it’s real, and there’s nothing we can do about it. Focus on how you’re responding by taking a break to identify better ways to take care of yourself, while staying connected to others. Do not become dismayed by that which you cannot control and remember those moments in life that have called for you to be resilient. You’ve always had the capability to overcome, and now is no different.

David Krovblit is an exemplary artist from Canada now working in Los Angeles, weaving together fantastical collages by hand. His process involves amalgamating his original artwork with images he has retrieved from vintage magazines. He produced a very large version of the overall image and then takes to cutting every crucial detail of every layer, putting it together meticulously usually on a panel of wood. Adding a layer of resin over all of his handiwork enhances the physicality of the work itself, giving it a body of sorts. Krovblit is a visualizer of great detail, all the choices made in his collages accumulate into a fabulous whole but can equally be appreciated at a level where all the pieces coexist and can be inspected alone. The collages are lush with excitement and a narrative for viewers to discover. His works have a tendency to invoke some kind of reaction from those who choose to experience it. Themes are often demonstrated too, things like consumerism and fantasy are among them. Elements of the human body, technology, pop culture, and love can be found in his collages. The layers seem practically endless in Krovblit’s unique flair of approach, more and more to unearth with every glance. The pieces are intricate and the most asymmetrical web of creativity there ever was. Krovblit engages with both novel and more dated techniques of collaging in order to achieve his specific style. The artwork of David Krovblit is absolutely mesmerizing to take in and always an indulgent joy.

Research on the vertical distribution of zooplankton in the western Mediterranean is still rare. With the exception of the Thor's campaigns covering the whole of the two basins, vertical fishing has long remained rare and localised. Nonetheless, for some ten years now the practise has been growing, from combined deep harvests to hydrological reports. It is in this context that the Institute of Maritime Fishing carried out, with the oceanographic ships President Theodore Tissier in 1958 and Thalassa in 1961 and 1963, several series (respectively K, N, and P) of vertical samples, at various levels throughout the western basin, but most especially in the Ligurian-Provençal channel and in the central sector (figure 1) that are the subject of this paper.

The cladocerans that we studied came from 30 samples taken during an expedition on board the "Thalassa" in five stations (Fig. 1) located between the Balearic Islands and Sardinia and between the North African coast and the 40th parallel and covered some of the deepest parts of the western Mediterranean Sea....These catches were valuable for the analysis of the distribution of cladocerans according to depth and distance from the coast. These data provide interesting additions to the recent observations made by Trégouboff (1963) that we will briefly review here. Trégouboff detailed the distribution of these organisms in the open sea off Villefranche-sur-Mer, at 8 to 14 nautical miles from the coast and mentioned four species, Evadne spinifera, E....

In this high sea sector, we identified 7 species of Thaliacea: one Pyrosorne (Pyrosoma atlanticum), three Salps (Thalia democratica, Salpa fusiformis, Pegea confoederata) and three Doliolids (Doliolum nationalis, Doliolina mulleri. Doliolum denticulatum).If the distribution of the first two groups did not bring any new knowledge concerning their distribution or their behaviour in the Mediterranean Sea, it was not the same for the third group.Indeed, we demonstrated the existence of close relationships between the distribution of doliolids and local marine circulation.
